This is a substitute Form W-9 document issued by the County of Greenville, South Carolina, requiring vendors to provide taxpayer identification information as a prerequisite for contract participation. The form is used to collect essential vendor information including legal business name, taxpayer identification number (TIN), entity tax classification, service type, and payment remittance details. Vendors must certify under penalty 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 U.S. citizens or other U.S. persons. The County of Greenville is soliciting proposals for lawn mowing and landscape maintenance services across 46 county-owned properties, including parks, sports complexes, and community centers. The initial contract term is one year with up to four annual renewal options, and the County welcomes proposals from contractors of all sizes, including regional operators and local businesses. Vendors may bid on all sites or specific geographic regions (North, Central, or South County).

The selected contractor(s) shall provide all labor, supervision, equipment, tools, materials, transportation, and incidental services necessary to maintain grass cutting and property appearance. Incidental services include edging, string-trimming, blowing and collecting clippings, and protecting non-lawn areas. The County reserves the right to modify the number of locations served based on operational needs. No specific pricing structure, set-asides, incumbent information, response deadlines, or award dates are detailed in the provided documentation. The substitute W-9 form is mandatory and must be completed before payment can be processed, as failure to provide timely taxpayer identification information may prevent or delay vendor compensation.
