RE: ARBITRA TION
Dear Ira:
At this point, my calendar in March is very clear and, I believe that any
Friday afternoon would fit my schedule for the hearing. Since you need the
date changed, however, I am going to put the burden of contacting everyone
to clear a date on you. Once you have done that, let me know and I will
issue another notice.
Please note that Stephen Bloom, Esquire is no longer an arbitrator and
he has been replaced by Frederick Huganir, Esquire, of Carlisle.
Postponing this matter until March is quite a delay and I do not want
the matter put off much longer. Accordingly, I request that you get back to
me, within one week, on a date that suits everyone in March. I also request
that you consult with Plaintiff's attorney in case there is any problem
postponing the hearing that far.
Sincerely,
Samuel L. Andes

RE: Sowers, Garner, Saylor Architects Engineers, Inc. vs.
Chauffeurs, Teamsters & Helpers Local Union No. 430
No. 00-3022 Civil Term
Dear Judge Hoffer:
In early November you appointed me Chairman of a panel of arbitrators
in the above matter. One of the other arbitrators you appointed at that time
was Stephen Bloom, Esquire. Mr. Bloom has notified me that he has a
conflict of interest which would make it improper for him to sit as an
arbitrator in the case. I write to request that you enter an order vacating his
appointment and appointing another attorney to serve as arbitrator.
The case is scheduled for a hearing on 12 January 2001. I ask that
you please appoint another arbitrator within the next two weeks so that the
hearing will not have to be rescheduled. Thank you for your attention to this
matter.
Sincerely,
Samuel L. Andes

I picked a date for the arbitration hearing which is far enough in the
future that I expect no one will have a conflict. If I am wrong about that,
whoever has a conflict will have to participate in the process of getting the
hearing rescheduled. If you have a conflict, please contact my secretary,
Amy Harkins. She will give you some other dates that are available and you
can then help call everyone to get the matter rescheduled. Hopefully none of
that will be necessary.

invited contractors to bid on the Project.
14. Two contractors willing to perform the requisite
construction services (the "Contractors") ultimately bid on the
Project.
15. The Teamsters rejected the Contractors bids on grounds
that they were excessive and thereafter unilaterally terminated
the Project.
16. The Teamsters are now refusing to compensate SGS for
the architectural and engineering services performed by it under
the Agreement.
17. SGS has performed all services required of it under the
terms of the Agreement.
A168519:
J
-",-:"",,,-., ".,

18. The Teamsters refusal to compensate SGS for the
architectural and engineering services performed by it
constitutes a breach of the Agreement between the parties.
19. The Agreement called for payment to SGS at its offices
located at One Tyler Court, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, 17013.
20. The Teamsters currently owe SGS approximately $9,231.64
under the express terms of the Agreement for architectural and
engineering services rendered. A copy of SGS' most recent
invoice evidencing the amount in arrears in attached hereto as
Exhibit "B."
COUNT II
UNJUST ENRICHMENT
21. SGS incorporates herein by reference paragraphs 1
through 20 above as if set forth at length.
22. SGS performed architectural and engineering services
for the exclusive benefit of the Teamsters, at the Teamsters'
request, and in reliance upon the Teamsters' representations that
it would pay SGS for such services.
23. SGS has completed all architectural and engineering
services requested by the Teamsters.
24. The Teamsters has refused to compensate SGS for the
architectural and engineering services performed by it.
25. SGS anticipates that the Teamsters will continue to
refuse payment to SGS.

26. SGS justifiably relied to its detriment on the
Teamsters' representations that it would pay SGS for the
requested work on the Project.
27. SGS has conferred a benefit on the Teamsters in the
nature of architectural and engineering services for the Project.
28. The Teamsters has utilized the plans prepared by SGS'
in soliciting bids from contractors for the Project.
29. SGS has been damaged as a result of the Teamsters'
refusal to pay for the requested work on the Project, since it
has incurred expenses and performed work that it otherwise would
not have done if it had known that the Teamsters had no intention
of paying SGS for the work and expenses.
30. The Teamsters has been unjustly enriched in the amount
of approximately $9,231.64, which evidences the fair market value
of the architectural and engineering services performed by SGS,
less the retaining fee previously paid by the Teamsters. A copy
of SGS' most recent invoice evidencing the amount in arrears in
attached hereto as Exhibit "B".
WHEREFORE, Sowers, Garner, Saylor Architects Engineers, Inc.
demands judgment in its favor and against the Teamsters Local No.
430 in the amount of $9,231.64, together with interest, and costs
of suit. The amount in controversy does not exceed the
jurisdictional amount requiring compulsory arbitration in
accordance with Local Rule 1301-1.

NEW MATTER

necessary plans and documents which would result in bids from contractors that fell within

amount available for the project, plus the use of Union contractors which Teamsters
informed SGS was a vital requirement for the project.

product, when submitted to bidders with an invitation to bid would result in bids, from Union
contractors, which fell within the $80,000.00 to $85,000.00 budget for the project.
33. SGS was aware that the $80,000 to $85,000.00 was a fixed budget amount and that SGS's
assurance that they could deliver a product which would result in bids from Union
contractors within that amount was the only reason that SGS was accepted to work on the
project and was told to begin work on the project.
34. The product that SGS delivered to Teamsters did not result in bids within the agreed-upon
budget.
35. The product that SGS delivered to Teamsters resulted in bids which exceeded $160,000.00

which was at least double the budget which SGS knew was the maximum amount available

known, that it could not deliver a product which met Defendants requirements.
37. Plaintiff failed to perform all conditions precedent which would entitle Plaintiff to payment

would result in bids within the budget specified by Teamsters, and could and would produce
Union contractors who would submit bids within the stated budget.
38. Plaintiff has failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.
39. Plaintiffs claims are barred by the doctrine of accord and satisfaction.
40. Plaintiffs claims are barred by failure of consideration.
41. Plaintiffs claims are barred by impossibility of performance .
42. Plaintiffs claims are barred by the applicable statute oflimitations.

44. Plaintiff s actions were fraudulent, in that Plaintiff knew or should have known that it could
not produce a product that would result in bids from Union contractors within the specified
budget, deliberately and intentionally misrepresented the fact that it could produce such a
product, which was a material fact, intending that Defendant would rely, to its detriment, on
Plaintiffs misrepresentations, and knowing that Defendant would rely upon its
misrepresentations, to Defendant's detriment.
