confidential and exempt from public records disclosure requirements are not disclosed except as
authorized by law for the duration of the Agreement term. Upon completion of the Agreement,
Contractor shall transfer to the City, at no cost, all public records in possession of the Contractor,
provided the transfer is requested in writing by the City Clerk. Upon such transfer, Contractor
shall destroy any duplicate public records that are exempt or confidential and exempt from public

records in connection with this Agreement shall, at any and all reasonable times during the normal
business hours of the Contractor, be open and freely exhibited to the City for the purpose of
examination, audit, or otherwise. Failure by Contractor to grant such public access, cooperate with
the City’s examination or audit, and comply with public records laws and/or requests shall be

Florida Statutes and any other statutes and common law governing sovereign immunity to the
fullest extent possible. Neither this provision nor any other provision of this Agreement shall be
construed as a waiver of the City’s right to sovereign immunity under Section 768.28, Florida
Statutes, or other limitations imposed on the City’s potential liability under state or federal law.

interest for the period before judgment. Further, City shall not be liable for any claim or judgment,

Scope of Services. Contractor agrees to provide the following Services to City:
(a) Contractor agrees to offer pickleball instruction, clinics, group and private lessons,
youth summer camps, junior development programs, organization of and running of tournaments

keeping the majority of courts open to the public for play. Tournaments and special events which
are infrequent will impact the number of courts available for open play.
The following schedule will be used as a basic operating plan for the operation of the
pickleball courts. This plan will be adjusted as necessary with the approval of the City Staff and
will be dependent upon demand for the Services offered by Contractor. The parties may mutually
agree, in writing, to change the time, days, and locations that the Services are to be performed.
Any requested changes to the program must be submitted with seven (7) days advance notice to
the City’s Parks and Recreation Program Coordinator.
