CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORITY - Template.docx

This is a Certificate of Authority template document designed for federal lease contract submissions. The form requires completion by an authorized officer (such as a Secretary or Attesting Officer) of the company/corporation entering into a lease agreement with the government. The certifying officer must confirm their position within the organization and verify that the signatory executing the lease documents was properly authorized to act on behalf of the company and was acting within the scope of delegated powers. A critical requirement noted in the document is that the signature of the Secretary/Attesting Officer and the individual signing the attached instrument cannot be the same person, ensuring proper segregation of duties and attestation authority.

This template is specifically applicable to the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles Engineering District solicitation for a land lease in Dona Ana County, New Mexico (Solicitation Number DACA09-5-26-0104). Prospective lessors submitting proposals for the approximately 400 square foot antenna site in the Sunland Park/Santa Teresa area must include a completed Certificate of Authority as part of their proposal submission to demonstrate that their authorized representative has proper authority to execute the lease on behalf of their organization.
