AI Summary

This bill authorizes the Commissioner of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance, in consultation with the Chancellor of the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, to sell, lease, or otherwise convey the University's West Campus property in Chelmsford, consisting of approximately 32 acres. The bill outlines the process for competitive bidding, requires that the Commonwealth and the University be held harmless from any claims related to the property's condition, and allows the Commissioner to retain or grant easements for access, utilities, and drainage. The cash proceeds from the transaction and the purchase price paid by the Town of Chelmsford for a portion of the property will be deposited into an expendable trust, which can be used to cover transaction-related expenses and for capital repairs and improvements to University facilities.
