- Purpose. To enhance security, protect materials and equipment, verify compliance with safety regulations, document construction progress, and resolve disputes, Contractor will operate a continuous closed‑circuit video‑and‑audio monitoring system (“CCTV System”) throughout the Project.
- Advance Notice & Consent. By executing this Agreement, Owner acknowledges and gives express, informed consent—on behalf of itself and all agents, invitees, employees, consultants, and other persons it causes or permits to enter the Site—to the interception, recording, storage, and later use or disclosure of any audio‑visual communications captured by the CCTV System.
Florida is an all‑party‑consent state; contractual consent and posted signage satisfy Fla. Stat. § 934.03.
- Signage. Prior to mobilization, Contractor will post clear, weather‑resistant signs at each designated Site entrance stating:
“NOTICE: Video and audio recording in progress 24/7. Entry constitutes consent to monitoring.”
- Placement & Scope. Cameras may be installed anywhere on the Site except areas where a reasonable expectation of privacy exists (e.g., toilets, changing facilities). Cameras may be repositioned or added as construction sequencing requires, without further notice, provided signage remains in place.
- Recording Schedule & Retention. Recording will be continuous (24 hours/day). Unless a longer period is required by contract, law, insurer, or to preserve evidence, Contractor will retain footage for at least ninety (90) days after Final Completion, after which recordings may be overwritten or destroyed at Contractor’s sole discretion.
- Exclusive Ownership & Restricted Access.
a. Property Rights. All recordings—audio, video, and any derivatives—are and shall remain the exclusive, proprietary property of Contractor.
b. Internal Use. Contractor may review, analyze, and use the footage for any legitimate business purpose, including but not limited to safety audits, quality control, insurance claims, dispute resolution, or disciplinary action.
c. External Disclosure. Contractor will disclose or provide copies of footage only when (i) required by a valid subpoena, court order, or written request from duly authorized law‑enforcement or regulatory agencies; or (ii) expressly agreed to in writing by Contractor in its sole discretion.
d. No Owner Demand Right. Owner waives any right to demand access to or copies of the recordings except as provided in subsection (c). Unauthorized viewing, copying, or distribution by Owner or any third party acting on Owner’s behalf is prohibited.
- No Warranty. Contractor does not guarantee that the CCTV System will capture every event, remain uninterrupted, or prevent loss or injury. The System is a supplement—not a replacement—for Owner’s and workers’ own security and safety measures.
- Indemnity & Hold‑Harmless. Owner shall defend, indemnify, and hold Contractor harmless from any claim arising out of Owner’s or its invitees’ failure to communicate the existence of monitoring to others under their control or to comply with applicable privacy laws.
- Regulatory Compliance. The CCTV System will be operated in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local statutes, labor regulations, and collective‑bargaining requirements, including but not limited to the Florida Security of Communications Act (Fla. Stat. ch. 934) and OSHA site‑safety rules.
- Survival. The obligations in this clause survive Final Completion and any termination of the Agreement to the extent footage is preserved for claim resolution or legal proceedings.
