The Mayor may execute in behalf of the City all conveyances,
leases and other instruments to be executed by the City, but this
provision shall not be construed to prevent any officer from executing
any conveyance, lease or other instrument in performing the duties
devolving upon him.
[Amended 6-1-2020 by Order
No. 2020-012]
The Mayor is authorized and directed to adopt in writing, prior
to publication requesting applications, a selection procedure as required
by MGL c. 7C, § 54, as from time to time in effect, for
the award of such contracts for design services as are subject to
said statute. Such adoption shall be by the issuance of rules and
regulations, the content of which shall be guided, to the extent the
Mayor deems to be in the best interests of the City, by the guidelines
published pursuant to MGL c. 7C, § 54(b), by the Designer
Selection Board of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to the extent
such guidelines are from time to time in force and effect. Such rules
and regulations may be amended by the Mayor, from time to time, as
he deems to be in the best interests of the City; such amendment may
include, without limitation, the repeal, revocation or rescinding
of individual rules and regulations, or portions thereof. The Mayor
shall file with the City Clerk all rules and regulations and amendments
thereof which he shall issue pursuant to this section.
