Section 371(a) of the City Charter authorizes bid preferences based on the geographical location of a bidder. Only the Council shall grant such preference and no preference shall be granted other than for the award of the contracts for the automated refuse collection containers. The Council, in determining the particular geographical area, be it within the State of California or County of Los Angeles, or any sub-area thereof, in which a business needs to be located, or agree to locate, in order to qualify for a bid preference, shall state the reason for such determination. The Council shall further determine the nature and extent of such preference. The adoption of this section shall be deemed authorization for any action by the City Council granting such preference. What constitutes the locating of a business within the geographical area, as to the award of a particular contract, shall also be determined by the City Council.
