A Dallas judge has scheduled hearings involving Dallas County's award of a no-bid contract to preserve the county's paper records. Business Resources Corporation (BRC) is seeking an injunction to keep additional work from being performed under the terms of a $17.5 million contract the county signed with Virginia-based GTSI last year. BRC alleges that Dallas County violated state mandates by awarding the contract without competitive bids. The court also will consider a motion to move up the date for depositions of Dallas County Clerk John Warren and GTSI officials. "We contend that Mr. Warren either willfully disregarded the law or was misled by GTSI about how the contract was awarded and GTSI's qualifications to manage the contract," says attorney Michael Hurst of Dallas's Gruber Hurst Johansen & Hail LLP.
