WHEREAS, we the undersigned, intend to erect or repair a building on
Lot __________, Block ________________, Plan ________________ in the City of
North Battleford.
AND WHEREAS the operations in excavating for and erecting the said building or for
maintenance of the building will be within three feet of the street line and as a
consequence will of necessity require the use of the sidewalk adjacent to the lots on
either side thereof.
AND WHEREAS we have applied to the Director of Public Works and Engineering of
the City of North Battleford for a permit allowing the use of said sidewalk during the
course of said excavation and construction or for maintenance of the building and the
said Director of Public Works and Engineering has, as a condition precedent to the
granting of said permit, required that we indemnify the City from all claims which might
be made against the City, as a result of the use of the sidewalk in the carrying out of the
said operations. If construction required the sidewalk to be blocked, then the applicant
must provide alternate safe passage for pedestrians.
NOW THEREFORE we, the undersigned, do hereby undertake and agree to keep the
City of North Battleford harmless and free from all claims for damages or injuries to any
person, animal or property in any way arising from or attributable to the use of the said
sidewalk and of the sidewalk adjacent to the lots on either side of the said lot, during the
preparation for the excavation for and the construction of the said proposed building and
until such time as said sidewalk has been restored to its natural state, and until such
time as all possibility of damage resulting from or attributable to said work or operations
