I.BACKGROUND

A. The Contract


On January 12, 2007, Permanent Modular Building Systems, Inc. (now "Permanent Building Systems, Inc." or "PBS") entered into an "Independent Contractor's Agreement" with Defendant TMV, L.L.C. d/b/a Triune ("Mune"). See PBS Exhibit A & TMV Exhibit A. The agreement states that it shall be effective on "January 10, 2006,1 and shall continue in effect for a period of twelve (12) months unless sooner teiminated under Article 6 below." See id. Article 3 of this agreement, titled
"Compensation," explains how PBS will be paid. Id. Under the title arbitrator and left it at that. As a result of Triune's unwillingness to participate and based on the evidence PBS presented, an award was granted in PBS's favor and it was approved by the Court. Only after PBS attempted to collect the judgment through garnishment did Triune see fit to intervene in this case;ultimately persuading the Court to vacate the arbitration award on July 17, 2011, and remand to arbitration. Had Triune initially presented its case to the arbitrator, the expenditure of much of this time and effort could have been avoided, Therefore, Triune shall be responsible for arbitration costs incurred prior to July 17, 2011. According to my invoice (attached), the cost of arbitration from my initial appointment until July 17, 2011, is $1,580.00.Triune is responsible for paying this amount to the arbitrator. The remaining balance of the arbitration costs, $11,171.71, shall be paid by PBS.
