(a) The bidder to whom the contract is awarded shall have an exclusive franchise on the collection of trash and garbage within the Village, with the exception of commercial establishments.
Commercial establishments will have the option to accept the service of the Prime Contractor, or to hire an independent hauler of his/her choice. The charge for such service shall be negotiated between the independent hauler and the commercial establishment. All independent haulers shall be bound by this chapter. Such independent haulers of commercial establishments shall be solely responsible for any liability incurred by them while servicing any commercial establishments, and the Village will in no way be held responsible for any liability on the part of said hauler. (Ord. 81-40. Passed 7-6-81.)
(b) No person, firm or corporation, except the person, firm or corporation to whom the contract is awarded, shall collect or transport trash and/or garbage from any commercial establishment within the Village without possessing a license or permit to be issued by the Mayor. Such permit shall be in the amount of one hundred dollars ($100.00) per year. Permits shall be valid from January 1st to December 31st of each year. Before said permit is issued, the applicant will show evidence that he has procured, at his/her own expense, liability insurance to provide for each accident, three hundred thousand ($300,000) bodily injury liability protection and one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) property damage liability, valid for the period of the license or permit. The contractor shall furnish sufficient evidence to the Mayor and Council that said insurance is renewed on the policy anniversary during the period of time that the contract is in force. He shall show evidence that the trucks to be used for hauling trash or garbage within the Village limits shall comply with Section 969.05

(c) The bidder to whom the contract is awarded shall provide the service of collecting “other refuse”. The price of this service shall be arrived at by negotiation between the contractor and the resident or commercial operator, but in all instances such price must be reasonable and fair to both parties. This does not constitute an exclusive franchise on the collection of “other refuse” and grants the householder or commercial operator the right of hiring another hauler if they choose not to accept the service provided by the contractor.
