This is a W-9 form for tax identification purposes submitted to Louisville Metro Government in Kentucky for a construction cost estimator contract opportunity. The form requests standard tax identification information including the provider's name, business structure, address, and Employer Identification Number (EIN) or Social Security Number (SSN) to establish the contractor's tax filing status with the Internal Revenue Service. W-9 forms are required documentation for independent contractors and vendors prior to contract award and payment authorization, serving as verification that the contractor is authorized to work in the United States and will comply with applicable tax reporting requirements.

The submission of this W-9 form indicates that a contractor has been selected or is in the final stages of contract negotiation with Louisville Metro Government for the construction cost estimator services. This documentation must be completed and returned before contract execution and the commencement of cost estimating services for new building construction projects, renovation work on existing Metro-owned or operated facilities, and establishment of project budgets across various properties under Metro's control. The W-9 provides the necessary tax identification data required by the government entity to process invoices, issue payments, and file appropriate tax reporting documents with federal authorities.
