The COA consultant’s inspection of the steel structure on which the Link-Belt 45A was installed indicate it to be in good condition and will require no repairs or alterations, aside from those necessary for the Contractor’s installation of their replacement screen assembly. Such modifications shall be included in the total price of the Contractor’s proposal. iii. Removal and proper disposal of the existing Link-Belt 45A assembly shall be included in the Contractor’s proposal. The contractor shall make a good-faith effort to recycle materials from the existing screens, with proceeds from recycling retained by the contractor. iv.
