This is a Certificate of Authority form issued by the City of Boston, required for corporations to designate an individual legally authorized to sign contracts on behalf of the organization. The form must be completed and signed by the corporation's clerk or secretary, as authorized by the corporation's filings with the Secretary of the Commonwealth, and submitted in connection with contract opportunities with the City of Boston. The certificate documents a board vote authorizing a specific individual to execute contracts and performance bonds for services on behalf of the corporation. The form includes required fields for the corporation name, meeting location and date, authorized individual's name and position, description of services, and the clerk or secretary's signature and date. The form must remain unaltered to maintain legal validity and requires approval as to form by Corporation Counsel.

In the context of the City of Boston's Over-the-Phone and Video-Remote-Interpretation services contract opportunity, this certificate would be submitted by any corporate vendor seeking to respond to the City of Boston's Office of Language and Communications Access (OLCA) request for qualified vendors to provide interpretation services. The certificate serves as a prerequisite compliance document establishing the legal authority structure for contract execution and performance bond obligations, ensuring that the signatory has proper authorization under the corporation's bylaws and governance structure.
