This is a Substitute Form W-9 document issued by the County of Greenville, South Carolina, required for vendor identification and tax compliance in conjunction with the 2050 Long-Range Transportation Plan procurement. The form is a prerequisite for participation in the solicitation and requests comprehensive vendor information including legal name, taxpayer identification number (TIN), business classification, service type, and payment remittance details. Vendors must certify under penalties of perjury that the provided TIN is correct, that they are not subject to backup withholding by the Internal Revenue Service, and that they are a U.S. citizen or U.S. person. The Request for Proposal was issued on September 19, 2025, with proposals due by October 16, 2025, at 3:00 pm. The contract will be awarded based on evaluation of seven equally weighted criteria and may extend for up to four additional one-year terms following the initial award period through Fall 2026.

The County of Greenville requires all respondents to complete this substitute W-9 form, as the standard IRS Form W-9 will not be accepted. Comprehensive insurance requirements include $1,000,000 in general liability coverage, $1,000,000 in automobile liability, and statutory worker's compensation. The procurement is open to qualified transportation planning firms with demonstrated experience in regional transportation planning and multi-jurisdictional coordination. The project will be funded through local and potentially federal transportation planning resources, with specific budget amounts not disclosed in the available documentation. No explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are outlined in the solicitation materials, and the county reserves the right to interview respondents and negotiate contract costs following the intent-to-award determination.
