2. The services are available to all who want the service.

B. Contract for collection. In the event that the County is dissatisfied with the implementation of the specified programs and, after having notified the certificated hauler, finds the hauler has failed to cure the perceived omission, the County will exercise its authority to contract for the collection of residential recyclables. The County will:

1. Notify the haulers operating in unincorporated area of the County's intent to exercise its authority.

2. Select a recycling contract through a request for proposal process that considers, among other factors, experience, qualification, and costs.
