I am proposing on a project in which the scope is the renovation of a single floor of a 10 story building that is currently LEED 2009 EBOM certified. My question is, does this renovation need to submit for LEED certification as well or if there is some level of documentation that will have to be provided to maintain the existing building certification?

This is a question that you need to ask directly to your base building management. LEED-EBOM certificates do expire and require regular re-certification. Depending on which credits the base building is pursuing and whether they are going to be going for a One-Off or Recertification application and when their next recertification period is, they may need information from you. Given that the information varies based on the timing and scope of which credits they are pursuing, it really is something you'd need to gather from them.
If they are going to need information, a large portion of it are items that would also be tracked via a LEED-CI certification (if you wanted to attempt that on your project). This is something that you could look at pursuing if your client was interested.
