This is a Certificate of Authority form published by the City of Boston in May 2025, required for corporations entering into contracts with the City of Boston. The form certifies that a corporation's board of directors has voted to authorize a specific individual to sign contracts and performance bonds on behalf of the corporation. The authorized individual must be named along with their position, and the form must be attested by the corporation's clerk or secretary, not the authorized contract signer. The specific contract referenced in the related opportunity involves the Boston Public Schools requesting active rosters of BPS graduates currently and previously enrolled in eligible postsecondary programming in Massachusetts.

The Certificate of Authority form requires completion of mandatory fields including the corporation name, location and date of the board meeting, the name and position of the authorized individual, the description of services, the clerk or secretary's name and signature, and the current date. The form must be affixed with the corporate seal and cannot be altered in any way or it becomes void and without legal effect. Approval as to form by Corporation Counsel was granted in April 2025. This certification ensures that the signatory has proper authorization from the corporation's board of directors to execute the contract with the City of Boston and any associated performance bonds.
