Coat the schoolyard blacktop with a cool-pavement finish, Booker T. Washington High School

The asphalt schoolyard at the school radiates heat well past 100F on sunny afternoons, in a neighborhood already documented as one of Atlanta's hottest urban heat-island pockets; a reflective cool-pavement coating cuts that surface temperature directly where students stand for recess and PE. Standard: Urban heat-island mitigation — reflective/cool hard-surface treatment and shade structures to cut surface and ambient heat in historically tree-sparse, pavement-heavy neighborhoods (documented Atlanta Westside heat-island corridor). SDG 11.7 (accessible public space) + SDG 13.1 climate-hazard resilience; complements the urban_canopy tree-shade standard rather than replacing it. Proof: permit + before/after surface-temperature readings + coverage photos + GPS Method (Urban heat-island mitigation for civic hard surfaces and pedestrian waiting areas — high-solar-reflectance (cool) coatings on sidewalks/schoolyards/plazas and shade-sail/structure installs at bus stops and gathering points. EPA Heat Island Reduction Program cool-pavement guidance + ASTM E1918 solar-reflectance testing; municipal right-of-way permit where the surface or structure sits in the public way., ~90-240 min): 1. Photograph the target surface or waiting area as found, including a mid-day surface-temperature reading, and confirm the right-of-way permit and any utility locates before ground disturbance. 2. Set cones/barricades for a pedestrian-safe work zone; pressure-wash and clear the surface of debris, or confirm the shade-structure footing location clears underground utilities (811 locate) and meets the manufacturer's anchor spec. 3. Apply the cool-pavement coating system per manufacturer instructions in the specified number of coats and cure time, OR set and anchor the shade structure/sail per its engineering spec, keeping clearances for accessible passage. 4. Verify: for coatings, confirm even coverage with no missed sections and let the full cure window pass before reopening to traffic; for structures, confirm anchor torque and structural stability by hand-test. 5. Take a matching-vantage after photo and a same-conditions surface-temperature reading; log the reading delta. 6. Enter before/after photos, the temperature readings, materials/product used, and the permit reference into the proof record; sign. Equipment: camera + infrared/surface thermometer, push broom + pressure washer (surface prep), roller/squeegee applicators for cool-pavement coating (manufacturer-specified system only), cones/barricades for the work-zone perimeter, post-hole digger or core drill + concrete anchors (shade-structure footings), tape measure + level, gloves + safety glasses + respirator as coating manufacturer specifies Done when: Before and after photos from a matching vantage, with mid-day surface-temperature readings logged both times; Coating shows even, full coverage with no missed sections (or structure passes a hand-test for anchor stability); Pedestrian accessibility/clearance maintained through and after the work; Right-of-way permit and any utility-locate reference recorded

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof
permit + before/after surface-temperature readings + coverage photos + GPS

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 90–240 minutes. Method of record: Urban heat-island mitigation for civic hard surfaces and pedestrian waiting areas — high-solar-reflectance (cool) coatings on sidewalks/schoolyards/plazas and shade-sail/structure installs at bus stops and gathering points. EPA Heat Island Reduction Program cool-pavement guidance + ASTM E1918 solar-reflectance testing; municipal right-of-way permit where the surface or structure sits in the public way.

Steps

  1. 1. Photograph the target surface or waiting area as found, including a mid-day surface-temperature reading, and confirm the right-of-way permit and any utility locates before ground disturbance.
  2. 2. Set cones/barricades for a pedestrian-safe work zone; pressure-wash and clear the surface of debris, or confirm the shade-structure footing location clears underground utilities (811 locate) and meets the manufacturer's anchor spec.
  3. 3. Apply the cool-pavement coating system per manufacturer instructions in the specified number of coats and cure time, OR set and anchor the shade structure/sail per its engineering spec, keeping clearances for accessible passage.
  4. 4. Verify: for coatings, confirm even coverage with no missed sections and let the full cure window pass before reopening to traffic; for structures, confirm anchor torque and structural stability by hand-test.
  5. 5. Take a matching-vantage after photo and a same-conditions surface-temperature reading; log the reading delta.
  6. 6. Enter before/after photos, the temperature readings, materials/product used, and the permit reference into the proof record; sign.

Claim it on the board

Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours, and signing costs nothing: no card, no deposit, no fee. An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.

Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
