The text
Whenever the city requests a bid for paper products, it shall require vendors to submit their bids reflecting the cost of using recycled paper as well as the cost of using virgin paper. For purposes of this section, "recycled paper" shall mean paper with a recycled content of 50 percent or of which the majority of the product is manufactured of recycled paper stock. Whenever the cost of recycled paper is equivalent to or less than the cost of virgin paper, the city shall purchase the recycled paper.
