This document, an Agency Agreement/Authorization for Property Manager, serves as a certification by the property owner affirming that their appointed agent is empowered to manage and lease a property to the government. The owner formally identifies themselves and their agent, asserting the agent's legal authority to sign the lease on the owner's behalf and handle various obligations, including payment collection, maintenance, and lease amendments. The document requires the owner’s signature, name, and title, establishing a clear delegation of responsibilities related to the property lease. This agreement is critical in the context of government Request for Proposals (RFPs) and grants as it ensures that the proper legal authority is in place for any contracts made with the government regarding property leasing, reinforcing compliance and accountability in federal and local transactions.

The document consists of two certification templates for entities involved in a leasing agreement, specifically for corporations/LLCs and partnerships. The first section, titled "Certificate of Authorization," is intended for corporate or LLC representatives, confirming that the signatory possesses the authority to act on behalf of the corporation or LLC specified as the lessor in the attached lease. This certification is to be completed by a legal representative, noting their title and including an official seal if applicable. The second section, the "Partnership Certificate," verifies the authority of a general partner within a partnership to bind the partnership to the lease agreement. It requires acknowledgment of the signing partner’s authority, along with a place for the seal. The purpose of this document is to authenticate the power of individuals signing leases in the context of federal and state contracts, ensuring legal compliance and clarity about who has the authority to make binding commitments on behalf of the entity. This is particularly relevant in federal RFPs and grants where proper authorization is crucial for transaction legitimacy and accountability in contracting processes.

The document outlines the General Clauses applicable to leasing agreements under the GSA Form 3517B, focusing on the acquisition of leasehold interests in real property. It details provisions concerning subletting, assignment, maintenance, and payment procedures among others. Key clauses such as "Successors Bound," "Compliance with Applicable Law," and "Prompt Payment" illustrate the obligations and rights of both the lessor and the government. The document emphasizes the government's rights in scenarios like default by the lessor, maintenance and inspection of property, and the conditions under which payments are made. Additional provisions cover labor standards, audit requirements, and obligations concerning subcontracting, stressing compliance with federal regulations. This document serves as a comprehensive guide for contractors and government agencies engaged in property leasing, ensuring clear expectations and legal adherence within government procurement processes.
