(a) Bids for the Residential Contract. The City Council shall in its discretion enter into a contract and grant a license to a person, corporation, partnership or firm for the hauling, transporting and handling of refuse from residential structures within the City. The City Council shall use the competitive bidding process for such purpose and shall make its selection based upon the capability, performance and bid price offered by the contractor. The City Council may engage the services of the contractor pursuant to a written contract for a period of one or more years and may renew such contract with or without seeking further bids.
(b) Notice to Other Licensed Haulers; Exclusivity. If a contract has been executed between the City and one or more licensed haulers, then the City must notify all other licensed haulers (licensed under Section 1060.07) of the contract. It shall be unlawful for any entity, other than a contractor, to collect, disturb, or transport residential, recyclables, yard waste or bulk waste for a fee, if that service is provided by a contractor.
