All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Sweep and wash the public sidewalk at Figueroa St and Adams Blvd. The public sidewalk on this high-traffic commercial corridor accumulates grime, litter residue, and spill film continuously; a broom-and-water clean is the safe, entry-level, recurring infrastructure care the block needs, the same care that keeps a street worth walking. The walk is grimy, littered and filmed with spill residue. For the payer: - Price: $480 per block face of up to 300 feet, curb to building line, one side. Basis: two workers for about four and a half hours at about $45 an hour each plus bags, hose water and supplies, about $100 a crew hour; proposed, to verify against the payer's unit price. - Likely payer: LA Sanitation and Environment (Clean Corridors) and the StreetsLA Clean Corridors pilot, or a business improvement district clean team (downtown: the DTLA Alliance Clean Team). In their words: specialized pressure washing and litter removal (LASAN on the $300,000 grant for the DTLA Clean Streets expansion); sidewalk wash-downs (the DTLA Alliance Clean Team's own count). - Public money rule: if a public agency pays for this cleaning or maintenance, California may treat it as public works (Labor Code 1720 and 1771; routine janitorial work is excluded). Covered maintenance over $1,000 pays at least the state prevailing wage, and over $15,000 the contractor must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations (Labor Code 1725.5). The crew works under the payer's contractor or employer of record. - No license is needed. - No permit is needed; written permission from the owner, the BID or the City contract for the walk.
Offer to pay $480. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
After the crew's safety orientation, wash only a walk you have the right to work. Stay on the sidewalk side, never step into the traffic lane, and wait for a trained flagger before any cone sits in a lane; wear waterproof boots and hi-vis.
The full safety list for this job:
- With a pressure washer, wear eye protection, hearing protection, waterproof slip-resistant boots and waterproof gloves; never point the wand at a person or a foot, because high-pressure water can inject under the skin and needs a doctor at once; run an electric washer only on a ground-fault (GFCI) outlet.
- Gear, Title 8 sections 3385 and 3384: waterproof slip-resistant boots for wet walks and spray, an abnormally wet location; waterproof gloves for wash water, cleaners and rough paving.
- 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.
- Sidewalk work only, no cutting, no concrete removal; stay on the sidewalk side and never step into the traffic lane; wear boots and a hi-vis vest near traffic.
- A cone or a person in a parking, bike or travel lane needs a trained flagger or the City's approved traffic control plan, never a spotter (Title 8 section 1599).
- Wash water goes to a wet vacuum or a sump mat and then to the named disposal point, never to a gutter or a storm inlet (the City stormwater rules).
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- broom, stiff brush, dustpan and contractor bags
- garden hose or a low-pressure washer on a fan tip, with a wet vacuum or a sump mat
- storm inlet drain covers or berms
- cones and hi-vis vests
- eye protection, hearing protection with a washer, waterproof gloves and waterproof slip-resistant boots
- litter grabber (litter only, never a needle)
- tape measure, camera and GPS phone
Steps
- Photograph the walk wide from both ends, then close on the worst spots from two fixed points, with GPS and time.
- Confirm you may work this walk: the public frontage the posting names, or the owner's or manager's written consent for private frontage, and note the MyLA311 request number or work order it answers.
- Work from the walk in hi-vis and set cones on the walk side only. Do not start if a cone or a person would stand in a parking, bike or travel lane unless a trained flagger (Title 8 section 1599) or the City's approved traffic control plan is in place.
- Dry-sweep and bag the loose litter and grit with a broom and a grabber used on litter only; leave any needle, syringe, human waste or unknown container where it lies, photograph it from a distance and file it on MyLA311.
- Leave any belongings, tent or bedding untouched and never ask a person to move: stop that section, photograph it from where you stand and file it on MyLA311.
- Cover every storm inlet downhill of the work with a drain cover or a berm, then scrub the film and spills with a stiff brush and a hose, or a low-pressure washer on a fan tip held 12 inches or more from the walk, never a zero degree tip.
- Pull the wash water into a wet vacuum or a sump mat as you go, carry it only to the disposal point the owner or the contract names, and squeegee the walk so it is not left slick.
- Photograph the finished walk from the same points, and record the square feet cleaned, the bags counted and where the wash water and the bags went.
What counts as done
- Before and after photos of the whole block face from the same two points, each with GPS and time
- The block face cleaned, named by its two ends, with the square feet cleaned
- The bags counted or weighed, and where the litter and the recovered wash water went
- Every storm inlet downhill of the work photographed with its cover or berm in place before any water ran
- Any needle, human waste or belongings spot photographed from a distance and filed on MyLA311, with the reference number
- The MyLA311 service request number or the City work order this block answers, copied from the request, or none when there is none
- Sign-off: LA Sanitation closes the MyLA311 request, or the host or owner signs off the finished work in writing. Write who signed and the date, or the date you asked.
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.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
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
