COG_Sub_W9_.pdf

This is a Substitute Form W-9 document issued by Greenville County, South Carolina, required for vendors and contractors conducting business with the county. The form captures essential vendor information including legal business name, taxpayer identification number (either SSN or EIN), entity tax classification, service type, and remittance address. Vendors must certify under penalty of perjury that the provided taxpayer identification number is correct, that they are not subject to backup withholding by the IRS, and that they are U.S. citizens or U.S. persons. The form specifies that the standard IRS Form W-9 is not acceptable and vendors must use this county-specific version, which was last revised in October 2022. Failure to provide complete and timely information on this form may prevent or delay payment from the county.

For the Cripple Creek Stream Improvement and Riparian Area Reclamation (SCIIP) project, interested bidders must submit the completed Substitute Form W-9 as part of their proposal package. The project, valued at $706,259.40 by the county engineer and located in Greenville County's Reedy River watershed, requires 800 feet of stream restoration work with a 90-calendar day completion timeline. Bidders must provide a 5% bid bond, performance and payment bonds, and maintain $1,000,000 in general liability and automobile liability insurance. The invitation for bids (IFB #26002) was released June 27, 2025, with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit on July 11, 2025, and sealed bid submissions due August 1, 2025, at 3:15 pm. Contract award is anticipated for September 8, 2025, with evaluation based 99% on cost and 1% on responsiveness. Liquidated damages of $250 per day apply for late completion, and the county offers cost savings through free boulder materials from Twin Chimneys Landfill and no tipping fees for spoil disposal.
