Syntax. .1 Where the words ‘accepted’, ‘reviewed’, ‘designated’, ‘directed’, ‘inspected’, ‘instructed’, ‘permitted’, ‘required’, and ‘selected’ are used in the Contract Documents, they are deemed to be followed by the words ‘by the Consultant’, unless the context provides otherwise. .2 Where the words ‘acceptable’, ‘submit’ and ‘satisfactory’ are used in the Contract Documents, they are deemed to be followed by the words ‘to the Consultant’, unless the context provides otherwise. .3 Where the masculine is used in the Contract Documents, it shall be read and interpreted as if the feminine or neuter had been used when the context of the statement so requires, and the rest of the sentence, clause, paragraph or item shall be interpreted as if all changes in grammar, gender or terminology thereby rendered necessary had been made. .4 The use of the words “include” or “including”, or variations thereof, is not limiting.
