This is a Certificate of Authority form published by the City of Boston in May 2025, requiring corporations to designate an individual legally authorized to sign contracts on behalf of the organization. The form must be completed by the corporation's clerk or secretary as authorized by the corporation's filings with the Secretary of the Commonwealth, not by the authorized contract signer themselves. The certificate documents a board vote authorizing a specific individual to execute contracts, performance bonds, and related agreements with the City of Boston. In the context of the related contract opportunity, this certificate would be required for robotics equipment procurement for the Madison Park Technical Vocational High School Robotics and Automation Technology program in Massachusetts, which aims to provide instructional equipment supporting student preparation for postsecondary careers in the robotics and automation industry.

The form requires certification that the vote authorizing the designated individual has not been amended or repealed and remains in full force and effect. The certificate must be attested by the corporation's clerk or secretary, include the corporate seal, and be dated by the signatory. The form explicitly states it becomes void and without legal effect if altered in any way and requires approval as to form by Corporation Counsel. This document serves as a prerequisite authorization mechanism ensuring that bidding corporations demonstrate proper internal governance and establish a clear point of contact for contract negotiations and execution with the City of Boston.
