This section catalogs the specific directives received from DPW officials that authorized, expanded, or modified JWTC's scope of work. Each directive is linked to invoiced costs.
Every staging location was city-directed. JWTC did not choose where to stage — the city told them.

| 9 | Feb 10 | "Do we have any dozer in theater?" | Steve (DPW) | EVD-0143 |
Feb 8, 11:57 AM — Toya Sykes (DPW Chief):
"This is a SNOW REMOVAL OPERATION. Creating piles is not apart of the contracted scope of work! I want the piles gone." EVD-0135
Feb 9, 8:59 AM — Toya Sykes (DPW Chief):
"We are REMOVING the snow from these alleys. DO NOT BLOCK RESIDENTS IN or leave any piles of snow in the alleys. Our Trash and Recycling trucks must be able to get through. Make sure we are salting as well." EVD-0138
Legal Significance: Toya's own words define the contracted scope as snow removal — not merely snow pushing. Full removal requires dump trucks to haul snow away. Salting requires salt trucks. These directives from the city's Chief of Operations justify every dump truck and salt truck hour on JWTC's invoice.
DPW officials directed JWTC to specific routes, addresses, and neighborhoods — often driven by constituent complaints and City Council requests. Examples include:
| Name | Title | Authority |
|---|---|---|
| Kendall Abu-Hakim | Department Director, DPW | Department-level authorization; received field reports directly from JWTC PM |
| Toya Sykes | Chief, DPW Fleet & Facilities | Operational authority; amendment signatory; directed all aspects of operations |
| Steve Strickland | Chief, DPW Ops & Logistics | Operational authority; staging/dump sites; issued formal demob directive |
| Sandra Calligan | Fleet Manager, DPW | Equipment requests; amendment processing; route assignments |
| Anthony Galloway | Division Manager 2, Water & Maintenance, DPW | Divisional operations; dump truck requests; City Council liaison |
| Alan D. Robinson | Deputy Director, DPW | Directed urgent priority clearing requests |
Throughout this engagement, JWTC raised specific questions and concerns to DPW officials in writing. The items below were never answered. They remain open as of the date of this package.
This matters because JWTC cannot be expected to absorb financial risk created by unanswered questions — especially when those questions were raised in good faith, in real time, and to the right people.
| # | Date / Time | Who Asked | Question / Concern | Directed To | Response |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Feb 12, 10:42 AM | Patrick Haygood (JWTC PM) | "My main concern now is we were reporting the unit counts as they were changing on the fly with needs etc and the addendum is being issued at the original requested counts. Is that going to present an issue on billing." | Steve Strickland (DPW Chief) | ❌ NO RESPONSE |
| 2 | Feb 12, 2:05 PM | Patrick Haygood (JWTC PM) | "Please make sure to respond to my email this morning I don't want to miss anything" | Steve Strickland (DPW Chief) | ❌ NO RESPONSE (Steve: "In the middle of 5 things") |
| 3 | Feb 5, 7:10 AM | Patrick Haygood (JWTC PM) | "Do you still need a special request crew if so what would you like that crew to consist of" | Toya Sykes (DPW Chief) | ❌ No specific response in thread |
Each unanswered item represents a situation where:
JWTC cannot retroactively reduce its invoice based on questions DPW chose not to answer. The work was performed. The questions were asked. The city's silence does not create a discount.
Where DPW did not respond to JWTC's billing questions, JWTC has invoiced based on:
If DPW believes any invoiced amount should be adjusted, JWTC welcomes a specific, written response to each of the unanswered items listed above.
This matrix shows who was responsible for each major aspect of this engagement. R = Responsible (did the work), A = Accountable (owned the decision), C = Consulted, I = Informed.

CITY DECIDED JWTC EXECUTED JWTC INVOICED ──────────── ───────────── ───────────── "Send 295 skids" → Deployed equipment → Billed actual counts "Stage at M&T" → Moved everything → Billed logistics "REMOVE the snow" → Deployed dump trucks→ Billed truck hours "Send salt trucks"→ Deployed 10 salt → Billed salt hours "Get a dozer" → Brought dozer → Billed dozer time "Demob 0700-1700" → Professional demob → Billed through window

| Equipment | Authorized | Actual (Feb 9) | Variance | % Over |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skid Steers | 204 | 295 | +91 | 44% |
| Dump Trucks | 50 (Amend. 1) | 81 | +31 | 62% |
| Wheel Loaders | 4 | 15 | +11 | 275% |
| Salt Trucks | 0 (no amendment) | 10 | +10 | N/A |
| Supervisors | 0 (no amendment) | 12 | +12 | N/A |
The city received these numbers and took no corrective action. Toya asked for the counts, received them, and raised zero objections. She asked a second time later the same day EVD-0040 — still no objection. The city's senior operations official implicitly authorized these deployment levels through informed acceptance.
JWTC Principal Brian Benoit identified 72 dump trucks operating on a single night shift at Neiman on Feb 9. This exceeds the Amendment 1 authorized count of 50 by 44%. This is consistent with the overall pattern of field-directed deployment exceeding amendment quantities DISC-003.
DPW Chief Toya Sykes was not merely informed of equipment counts — she was actively distributing equipment:
"Scott.... I have 14 dumps 4 bobcats for your team. Where are they going?" EVD-0140
This demonstrates the city controlled equipment allocation at the individual unit level.

On February 9, DPW Chief Toya Sykes asked how many people were at M&T and Neiman for food truck logistics. Patrick responded: "450" EVD-0043. The city arranged food trucks for this workforce — acknowledging the scale of operations and treating JWTC crews as their own.
Lindsey requested equipment-specific rates be applied to payroll calculations. After correction:

JWTC salt trucks were denied access to city-owned salt domes at least three times:
Each salt access denial was the city's internal communication failure, not JWTC's fault. Any salt truck downtime resulting from these denials was city-caused.

Steve Strickland (DPW Chief):
"We are using the current operational period (0700-1700) Thursday February 12th to demobilize. Field operation can conclude at this time. Please use this operation period as time to get any snow dump locations and staging areas organized and neat. Especially M&T lot B." EVD-0151
| Time | Activity | Ref |
|---|---|---|
| 6:41 AM | Toya designates Sandra as POC; out of office | EVD-0150 |
| 8:07 AM | Patrick outlines professional demob process with punch list (garage door, fence repairs) | EVD-0021 |
| 8:07 AM | Steve confirms aligned with demob approach: "I'll wait for yours and acknowledge it" | EVD-0021 |
| 9:14 AM | Steve directs snow pushback at Loch Raven — city adding tasks ON demob day | EVD-0153 |
| Morning | Steve requests dozer return from Frederick to landfill | EVD-0152 |

Steve Strickland personally drove all sites on February 13:
Remaining equipment (2 trucks with trailers, bobcats, service truck) was being managed for pickup. Steve: "No rush." The city was satisfied with demobilization execution.
Patrick proactively identified and committed to resolving property damage:
"It's not just about moving machines, it's about making sure we tie up those loose ends without the city or our name tarnished for failure to see small details through." — Patrick Haygood, JWTC PM
JWTC identifies these discrepancies proactively and in good faith. For unanswered questions related to these discrepancies, see Section 5.0.
| ID | Description | Expected | Actual | Responsibility | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DISC-001 | Amendment 1 email says "50 skid steers"; signed PDF says "50 Dump Trucks" | Consistent language | Email/document mismatch | City — DPW drafted and executed the amendment | EVD-0001 |
| DISC-002 | Unit counts changed on the fly per city needs; amendment uses original counts | Amendment reflects actual deployment | Amendment doesn't match field reality | City — directed changes; didn't answer Patrick's billing question | EVD-0010 |
| DISC-003 | 72 night dump trucks (Neiman, Feb 9) vs 50 authorized | 50 per Amendment 1 | 72 on single night shift | City — field-directed deployment | EVD-0038 |
| DISC-004 | 295 skid steers (Feb 9) vs 204 in contract | 204 | 295 (+44%) | City — Toya received and didn't object | EVD-0038 |
| DISC-005 | 15 wheel loaders (Feb 9) vs 4 in contract | 4 | 15 (+275%) | City — Toya confirmed twice; no objection | EVD-0038 EVD-0040 |
| DISC-006 | 10 salt trucks + supervisors without Amendment 2 | Executed amendment | No amendment; equipment operating | City — DPW reviewing; never executed | EVD-0038 |
| DISC-007 | 44 dump trucks on Feb 4 — before Amendment 1 signed Feb 7 | No dumps before amendment | 44 dumps operating before authorization | City — Toya ordered dumps Feb 3; amendment lagged | EVD-0058 |
| DISC-008 | Salt dome operators didn't know JWTC was authorized | City domes honor city contracts | JWTC denied salt 3+ times | City — internal communication failure | EVD-0105 EVD-0116 |
| DISC-009 | Pimlico dump site opened/closed/opened repeatedly | Stable dump site availability | Erratic open/close cycles | City — coordination failure | EVD-0145 |
| DISC-010 | Old Town Mall dump site shut down without warning | Notice before closure | Sudden closure disrupts operations | City — unilateral decision | EVD-0139 |
| DISC-011 | Salt denied at 4401 Leland Ave — 3rd salt access denial | Consistent salt access | Recurring denial | City — recurring failure | EVD-0131 |
Pattern: Every discrepancy is either (a) caused by the city's internal processes or (b) the result of city-directed field operations outpacing the city's own amendment process. In no case did JWTC unilaterally expand scope.
