Repair the detour crossing's curb ramp.
A permitted worker with a level and a grinder trues a curb ramp landing near the Union Station and Metro headquarters build, then sets the yellow warning surface. The ramp measures within slope before the worker packs up. Read all of it

All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Repair the detour crossing's curb ramp at the Union Station and Metro headquarters build with the City's written permission, by a licensed concrete crew. The crossing the detour around Link Union Station early works beside Metro headquarters, One Gateway Plaza sends people to has a curb ramp, and a year of trucks turning over it leaves a lip, a broken detectable warning surface or a landing full of gravel. Grind the lip to a quarter inch or less, reset or replace the detectable warning surface, clear and true the landing, and measure the running and cross slopes before and after. A fix that needs a lane closed, a new ramp run or a moved inlet, pole or utility is the City engineer's: stop at the measurement and file it on MyLA311, the City of Los Angeles service request line, and Metro's 24-hour project hotline. For the payer: - Price: $1,400 per curb ramp touch-up, one corner: the lip ground, the warning surface reset or replaced and the landing trued. Basis: two workers for one shift of about seven hours at about $50 an hour each plus the warning surface panel, repair mortar, grinder and vacuum, traffic control and permit time; proposed, to verify against the payer's unit price. - Likely payer: The build's owner or its general contractor for its detour crossings, or the Bureau of Engineering ADA barrier removal packages (Safe Sidewalks LA); to verify. In their words: ADA barrier removal. - Public money rule: if a public agency pays for this job, California treats it as public works (Labor Code 1720). On public works over $1,000 every worker is paid at least the state prevailing wage for the craft (Labor Code 1771) and the contractor keeps certified payroll (Labor Code 1776); on a project over $25,000 the contractor must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations (Labor Code 1725.5). The crew works under the payer's contractor of record. - License: CSLB C-8 (concrete), required above the minor work limit in Business and Professions Code 7048 (to verify the current limit). - Permit: the City's written permission or a StreetsLA or Bureau of Engineering public works permit for curb ramp work in the right of way (an A-permit: limited curb, sidewalk, driveway or gutter repair); an 811 ticket; a traffic control plan approved by the City where any lane is touched.
Offer to pay $1,400. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Stay outside the build's fence; work the public side. Never repair without the City's written permission, call 811 before any cut, and stop at the measurement if the fix needs a lane closed, a moved inlet, pole or utility, or a new ramp run; wear eye and hearing protection, boots and hi-vis.
The full safety list for this job:
- Gear, Title 8 sections 3385 and 3384: safety-toe boots for falling or rolling concrete and tools; leather gloves for rough edges (alkali-resistant when handling wet concrete).
- Wildfire smoke, section 5141.1: at a PM2.5 AQI of 151 or more the employer provides N95 respirators for voluntary use and moves the work indoors or cuts exposure where feasible; above AQI 500 respirators are required under a respiratory protection program.
- Heat, section 3395: drinking water, shade and cool-down rests; shade is ready at 80 F and the high-heat steps start at 95 F.
- Orientation, section 3203: the crew's injury and illness prevention program orientation comes before any work.
- Grinding the lip and cutting the warning surface are silica work: wet or under a vacuum shroud, never dry, under a written exposure control plan with a competent person and a respirator by Table 1 (1532.3, 5144).
- A flagger is added wherever any lane is touched (1598, 1599), and temporary traffic control follows the California MUTCD, Part 6, as the City's approved plan draws it.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- grinder with a water feed or a vacuum shroud, and a HEPA vacuum
- detectable warning surface panel and repair mortar, set by the maker's instructions
- digital level, straightedge, tape measure and ruler
- respirator, eye protection, hearing protection, gloves and safety-toe boots
- cones, barricades, signs and hi-vis vests
- storm inlet drain covers, camera and GPS phone
Steps
- Measure and photograph the ramp as found: running slope, cross slope, landing size, lip height and the warning surface, with the tool in the shot.
- Confirm the City's written permission or permit, the 811 ticket and the traffic control plan before any tool starts; if the fix needs a lane closed, a new ramp run or a moved inlet, pole or utility, stop at this measurement and file it with the City engineer on MyLA311.
- Set up cones/barricades and a safe pedestrian detour outside the work zone.
- Grind the lip to a quarter inch or less, wet or under a vacuum shroud and never dry, and vacuum the slurry so none reaches the gutter or a storm inlet.
- Set the detectable warning surface (truncated domes) aligned and embedded per spec; finish transitions flush with the gutter.
- Clear the landing of gravel, patch any hole with repair mortar, and true it to a cross slope of 2 percent or less.
- Re-measure the running slope, cross slope, landing and lip with the same tool and record every reading against the PROWAG limits.
- Photograph the finished ramp from the first vantage point, and log the permit reference, the warning surface product and the ramp's GPS point.
What counts as done
- The city's written permission or permit for the ramp work, with its reference and the 811 ticket number
- Running slope, cross slope and lip height measured before and after, with the tool shown
- The detectable warning surface photographed after the work, in place and whole
- The ramp's GPS point and the crossing it serves
- The MyLA311 service request number or the City work order or package number this ramp answers, copied from the request, or none when there is none
- Sign-off: the prime's site superintendent signs off the finished work in writing. Write who signed and the date, or the date you asked.
- Photos: take the before photo and the after photo from the same point (stand where the first one was taken and match its frame), each with its GPS point and its date and time.
- Prime's terms: ask the prime for its insurance list (workers' compensation, general liability naming the owner and its safety prequalification form) and whether its project labor agreement and targeted-hire terms apply to this crew, and write both answers down.
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
What is promised, and what is not
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.
Open, but not claimable yet. restricted: permit-required, regulated. Regulated or permit-required work cannot be claimed on this rail yet. It stays readable; voting and pledging are free, and funding is separate from claiming.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
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.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
