JWTC LLC was activated by the City of Baltimore Department of Public Works for emergency snow and ice removal operations in response to the February 2026 winter storm event. Operations began February 1 with initial mobilization and ran continuously through February 12 when DPW issued the formal demobilization directive.
This summary outlines the scope, timeline, and services provided throughout the engagement.
February 1–2 | Mobilization Initial crews and equipment began arriving in Baltimore and staged at city-designated locations. Operations began in priority areas immediately upon arrival.
February 3 | Full Operations Launch Round-the-clock operations commenced across the city. DPW established a reporting cadence of 7:00 AM, 2:00 PM, and 7:00 PM equipment and status updates. By end of day, 134 skid steers were on the ground with additional equipment continuing to arrive. DPW began directing crews to specific routes, neighborhoods, and clearing priorities.
February 4–5 | Rapid Scale-Up Equipment fleet expanded significantly as subcontractor crews mobilized from across the region. By February 4, DPW was provided and acknowledged counts of 236 skid steers, 44 dump trucks, and multiple loaders on site. DPW designated M&T Stadium Lot B as an approved staging area and opened salt domes for JWTC crews, referring to our operators as "DPW Contractors" in internal notifications.
Amendment 1 was delivered by DPW to formalize the dump truck operations already underway.
February 6–9 | Peak Operations This was the most intensive period of the operation. JWTC maintained 24-hour coverage with day shifts (approximately 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM) and night shifts (8:00 PM – 8:00 AM) with rotating operators on every piece of equipment.
DPW actively directed operations throughout, including: - Specific route and neighborhood clearing assignments - Priority requests for disabled residents, elderly care access, and city service routes - Equipment requests for additional loaders, salt trucks, and dump trucks at specific locations - Quality control inspections with DPW staff riding routes to verify clearing standards - Management of multiple dump sites across the city including Pimlico, Loch Raven & 33rd Street, Echo Park, Old Town Mall, and others
By February 9, DPW was provided and acknowledged the following equipment on site: 295 skid steers, 81 dump trucks, 15 front-end loaders, and 10 salt trucks, along with approximately 450 operators and field supervisors working across all zones. DPW continued directing operations without objection to these deployment levels.
Operations during this period also included responses to safety incidents, community-specific clearing requests from City Council members, and coordination with DPW on dump site availability and salt distribution.
February 10–11 | Final Push & Transition Active clearing operations continued with dump truck hauling and remaining neighborhood work. DPW continued managing dump site access and directing crews to specific locations. Equipment remained on site and operational.
February 12 | Demobilization DPW issued the formal demobilization directive: "0700-1700 Thursday February 12th to demobilize." During demob, DPW directed additional work including dump site organization, snow pushback at Loch Raven & 33rd Street, staging area cleanup at M&T Stadium, and equipment transport coordination. JWTC completed all demob tasks as directed.
February 13 | Post-Demob Verification DPW confirmed satisfaction with site conditions: "all looks good" at Loch Raven and "things are looking pretty good" at M&T Stadium.
JWTC deployed a substantial fleet of equipment and personnel to meet the scale and urgency of the operation:
Each piece of equipment ran two 12-hour shifts daily with different operators, providing uninterrupted 24-hour coverage from February 3 through February 11.
Equipment ramped up from initial mobilization on February 1 to peak deployment by mid-event, with the fleet remaining on site throughout the operation.
