Problems encountered in the project, solutions to doubts
Thread Content
We have just started a project and encountered a problem that we cannot solve. The project has entered the engineering design phase, and some equipment is now being procured. So far, the design institute has only provided a list of equipment (with incomplete information), asking our company to carry out the procurement. Our company feels that the information in this list is insufficient, so we asked the design institute to provide a detailed table of equipment specifications. However, the institute replied that it could not provide such a table and insisted that we proceed with purchases based on the list provided, obtain quotes from manufacturers, and then let the institute determine which equipment meets the requirements. What could be the design institute’s ulterior motives? Should a data sheet be created? Is the workflow correct?

May I ask if the data table was prepared by the design institute? Will there still be a homeowner to step forward?

What is the purpose of the design institute doing this? Are you trying to make a profit from it?
The design institute should come up with a model, and purchases can be made based on that model. Don’t they understand this?
It’s not that I want to make a profit from it, but I’m afraid of the hassle. This project might not be very large; no proper preliminary design has been carried out, so it’s impossible to create equipment data sheets.
1. It depends on how your contract was negotiated; if there are no obvious flaws in the contract or any issues with the project execution, then it is the responsibility of the design institute to provide the data sheets； 2. Consider the scale of the project; for very small technical improvement projects, the data sheets provided by the design institute are actually less reliable than the judgments of those on site ； 3. Consider the capabilities of the design institute; if the project is just a formality and a very small design firm was chosen arbitrarily, it’s understandable if they are unable or unwilling to provide it. Ultimately, it depends on what is specified in your contract
The situation is as follows: for example, in the case of pump systems, the design institute should provide a data sheet for the pumps (one that fully meets the procurement requirements). After the bidding process, a manufacturer is selected (design institutes specializing in large and critical pumps may participate), and then the manufacturer sends back the required conditions to the design institute. For reactors, tower internals, etc., the design institute usually issues a request for quotes, after which the manufacturers submit their proposals for use in the design process. Procurement is carried out using equipment lists; these are typically drawings from fields such as HVAC and fire protection (with fixed models and corresponding catalogues). As for the situation you mentioned, most of it should be handled by the design institute; it’s better to have more preliminary discussions with them.
No one does things this way; a list alone cannot meet the requirements for tendering and procurement.
