RFP for City of Roseville Recycling Services  A-20 4 Materials Processing and Marketing 4.1 Processing Facilities Must Be Specified It is intended that all Recyclables collected in the City will go to recycling markets to be manufactured into recycled content goods. The City prefers those markets to be in the Midwest. The Contractor shall assure the City that adequate recyclable material processing capacity will be provided for City material collected. The Contractor shall provide written notice to the City at least 60 days in advance of any substantial change in these or subsequent plans for receiving and processing Recyclables collected from the City.

In this case, each party shall name an arbitrator, and the two shall select a third person to serve as chairperson of the arbitration panel. The arbitration panel shall meet and
