Unless the tendering documents specify the scope of work for a regulated specialty, a tender filed for that specialty must comply with the scope of work prescribed in the guides reproduced in Schedule V for that specialty and adopted at the time of its subjection. Where such a guide has been adopted, Sections D-4 and D-5 of this Code do not apply to tenders for these architectural specialties.
The scope of work prescribed in these guides and the instructions for their use pertaining thereto, reproduced in Schedule V of the present Code, have the purpose of favouring comparison of the tenders filed for a regulated specialty, accounting for and complying with the practices and customs of the construction industry.
