Premium Transit Services, Inc. v. Maryland Transit Authority
(MSBCA Docket No. 2530)
October 2, 2007.
A.S. Robinson & Associates achieved a notable victory on behalf of client Premium Transit Services, Inc.
(PTS) of South Bend, Indiana
in a contract dispute against the Maryland Transit Authority (MTA). In its decision, the Maryland State Board of Contract
Appeals ruled in favor of PTS to award contract damages against MTA for wrongful termination and breach of a blanket contract
for brake shoe assemblies. Among other things, the Board found that PTS reasonably interpreted the contract at issue
as a standard “core exchange” (versus “outright buy”) contract and that MTA had reason to know of
the interpretation; that MTA used outdated part information from the bus manufacturer in preparing the contract specifications,
but refused to make equitable adjustments once the error was realized after contract award; and that MTA, in violation of
state procurement requirements to provide fair and equal treatment in the bidding process, engaged in unilateral discussions
with other suppliers both before and after contract award to PTS. The Board also stated that “MTA owes a debt
of gratitude to PTS” for its attempts to comply with the flawed contract provisions as long as it did before ultimately
filing its complaint. The Maryland State Board of Contract Appeals rules in favor of contractors in only about 15 to
25% of the cases it hears. Angela Robinson served as lead in the year-and-a-half
long case, with assistance from Of Counsel Darnita Akers.
