Description
Gale-Sobel, a division of Angelica Corporation (Gale-Sobel), contracted to provide uniforms and related services to the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) from 1994 to 1997. Gale-Sobel entered into a subcontractor agreement with Davis Apparel whereby Davis Apparel agreed to provide various warehousing, distribution, and other services in support of Gale-Sobels contract with DART. The parties executed various documents in contemplation of Gale-Sobels bidding efforts for the contract with DART. However, the parties did not execute a written contract which fully reflected the terms of their agreement. Soon after Gale-Sobel and Davis Apparel began fulfilling the contract with DART in January 1994, a dispute arose as to the amount of commissions Davis Apparel was entitled to receive for its services. Davis Apparel asserted that it was entitled to receive a commission of 20 percent based on a document executed during the DART bidding process. However, Gale-Sobel only paid Davis Apparel a commission of 15 percent. The parties continued to jointly fulfill the DART contract until May 1997 without resolving the dispute over the amount of commissions owed to Davis Apparel.
