EQUIPMENT LIST, PROPOSAL, AND STATEMENT OF WORK
Creating the Equipment List
2.8 Equipment List, Proposal, and Statement of Work
Upon completion of the FTR for the components of the system design, the
solution team creates the proposal and SOWs. The equipment list (also called
a Bill Of Material) is part of these two documents. Typically, the SOW is
created following the final negotiations activities and becomes part of the
contract. These processes are described in the following subsections:
• Creating the equipment list
• Acceptance test plan
• Assembling the proposal
• Creating the statement of work
2.8.1 Creating the Equipment List
Systems engineering has access to various design guides to assist in selecting
suitable equipment and creating coverage maps and support information.
Early on, the equipment list is created by the system engineer when the
requirements of the customer have been established. This list is forwarded to
the project manager who estimates costs for service, installation, and any
other outside costs. The equipment list is put through a technical scrub to
confirm all technical aspects are covered, and the list is complete.
Engineering charges, service, installation, and any travel expenses are put
through the configurator application which compiles the general costs for
the customer’s system. When the costs are compiled, these costs are
confirmed through a bid and quote scrub and the final dollar is set. The
equipment list is then put into the COF system.
