ATTACHMENT 05 Corporate Resolution.docx

This is a Corporate Resolution document related to the Hawaii Tourism Authority's Request for Proposal 27-06 for Hawaii Tourism Consulting Services for the Cruise Industry. The document serves as formal authorization from a bidding organization's governing body, certifying that the entity is authorized to submit a proposal and enter into a contract with HTA. The resolution typically designates authorized representatives who may execute contracts, sign documents, and bind the organization to the terms of the agreement. The document provides legal standing and demonstrates that the bidding organization has internal approval to participate in the procurement process and comply with all contractual obligations outlined in the RFP.

The Corporate Resolution is a prerequisite submission requirement for bidders responding to this solicitation and establishes the organizational legitimacy and decision-making authority necessary to execute a professional services contract with a state agency. This document protects HTA by ensuring that any organization awarded the consulting contract has formal corporate authorization and that signatories have legal authority to represent their firm. The resolution must be notarized and submitted with the proposal package to satisfy HTA's compliance and due diligence requirements for vendor qualification.
