The Director shall use the standards, procedures, and criteria specified in this chapter
in conjunction with other factors as authorized by Charter
and ordinance. If a bidder, in response to any invitation to bid, offers to supply
the City with one (1) or more recycled-content or recyclable products, the Director
shall reduce the actual bid amount for each such product by the applicable price preference
developed pursuant to SMC Section 20.60.210. The reduced bid amount for each such product shall be used only for purposes of
determining the lowest and best bid. However, nothing in this subchapter shall preclude
the Director from requiring local recycled content, recycled content or recyclable
content as specifications in invitations to bid for any products. The Director may
adopt specifications requiring that only local recycled-content products, recycled-content
products or recyclable-content products be responsive even though the cost of such
goods exceeds ten (10) percent of the price of equivalent products without recycled
content.
