All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Hand-clear weeds from the sidewalk edges along Figueroa St near 51st St. Overgrown weeds in the expansion joints and curb edges pry the panels apart, trap litter, and read as neglect the whole block absorbs; hand-pulling the joints and edges (hand tools only, no chemical sprays) is the recurring edge care that keeps the walk intact and the corridor cared-for. For the payer: - Price: $250 per 300 feet of sidewalk edge and joints. Basis: two workers for about two and a half hours at about $45 an hour each plus bags and supplies, about $100 a crew hour; proposed, to verify against the payer's unit price. - Likely payer: StreetsLA (sidewalk maintenance) and business improvement district clean teams. In their words: maintains, cleans, repairs and manages streets, sidewalks and related public-right-of-way assets. - 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; the public walk under the posting, or the owner's written consent.
Offer to pay $250. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
After the crew's safety orientation, use hand tools only (weeder, brush, bag), no chemical sprays, no power equipment. Stay on the sidewalk and never work from the traffic lane; wear boots, gloves and a hi-vis vest near traffic; employer provides water, shade and cool-down rests.
The full safety list for this job:
- Gloves required.
- Gear, Title 8 sections 3385 and 3384: sturdy closed-toe boots for shovel and tool strikes on rough ground; leather-palm gloves for thorns, glass and soil contact.
- 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.
- A trained flagger or the City's approved traffic control plan is in place before any cone sits in a lane (Title 8 section 1599).
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- weeder or hand cultivator, hand trowel and a stiff brush
- rake, broom and contractor bags
- gloves, eye protection and closed boots
- cones and hi-vis vests
- tape measure, camera and GPS phone
Steps
- Photograph the walk from the curb and close on the worst joints and edges from two fixed points, with GPS and time.
- Confirm you may work this walk: the public frontage the posting names, or the owner's written consent for private frontage.
- Work from the walk in hi-vis and keep every cone on the walk side. 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.
- Pull each weed by hand or with a weeder, root and all, from the expansion joints and the curb edge; leave the joint sealant and the panel edges untouched, and use no chemical spray and no power tool.
- Leave any needle, syringe, human waste or unknown container where it lies, photograph it from a distance and file it on MyLA311.
- Rake and bag the pulled weeds and grit, sweep the joints clear, and remove every bag from the site the same day.
- Photograph the finished walk from the same points, and record the length cleared in feet and the bags counted.
What counts as done
- Before and after photos of the joints and edges from the same points, each with GPS and time
- The length cleared, in feet, measured with a tape or a measuring wheel
- The method noted (hand pulling, no chemical sprays), the bags counted and where the green waste went
- Any needle or unknown container photographed from a distance and filed on MyLA311, with the reference number
- The MyLA311 service request number or the City work order this walk answers, copied from the request, or none when there is none
- Sign-off: the City inspector (Bureau of Engineering or StreetsLA) signs off the finished work, or the City closes the work order 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
