All of it: the words, the place, the proof

Clear the rain garden or bioswale inlet at the community center in Thai Town, Los Angeles, CA by hand and top up the mulch. It has trash and leaf litter blocking the inlet and the mulch bed has thinned out, so come back on schedule to keep it soaking up rain instead of flooding the street. A blocked inlet and a thinned mulch bed leave the rain garden flooding the street instead of soaking up the rain. Name the exact site and confirm it with its host before you claim: this listing gives only the area. For the payer: - Price: $300 per job, counted in basins cleared. - Likely payer: LA Sanitation and Environment, through MyLA311 requests. - No license is needed: clearing litter and sediment and weeding a planted basin by hand is maintenance, not construction work, so no contractor license applies.

Offer to pay $300. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

This job is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price, not money held for the worker. 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: recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Safety, read before you claim

No special training is needed. Touch surface debris and mulch only: never dig into, alter or fix the media or structure below the mulch line, report any clog or crack there to the maintenance agency, and wear boots and hi-vis off the roadway near traffic.

The full safety list for this job:

  • Wear gloves for debris handling.
  • Clear surface debris and mulch only; never dig or rake into the engineered soil, and report a clog or crack. Wear gloves, hi-vis and a spotter at street edges, use a rake or grabber, and keep mulch below the inlet lip.
  • Never alter the engineered soil or the structure below the mulch line, and route any media clog, crack or water standing more than about three days to the maintenance agency. Needles and glass hide in litter, so use a rake or grabber and never bare hands. Keep mulch off plant stems. At any street-edge inlet have a second person watch traffic. Rain garden mulch is shredded hardwood or the agency's specified type, 2 to 3 inches, never piled against stems and never up to or above the inlet or curb-cut lip, since that dams the flow and floods the street; never fine, floatable bark that washes into the overflow. Take off only what lies on the surface (trash, leaves, a thin skin of sediment), never the soil under it. Sediment from a lot or street can carry oil and lead: bag it and ask the owner where it goes. Standing water past about 3 days breeds mosquitoes: report it. Rats, wasps and snakes nest in thick mulch and litter: look first with a rake.
  • Orientation to the plan, including lifting 40 to 50 pound mulch bags with bent knees or a cart (Title 8 section 3203).
  • Outdoor work in sun: water, shade, rest breaks, watch each other (Title 8 section 3395).
  • Check the air quality index; at 151 or more the crew is told and offered respirators (Title 8 section 5141.1).
  • At a street-edge inlet work in hi-vis with a second person watching traffic (Title 8 section 1599).
  • Gear, Title 8 sections 3385 and 3384: waterproof puncture-resistant boots for needles, glass and slick wet footing at the curb; cut-resistant gloves for glass, sharps and contaminated runoff.
How this work is done

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

  • grabber or rake
  • ruler
  • cart or wheelbarrow
  • tongs and a sharps container
  • hi-vis

Steps

  1. Photograph the blocked inlet or outlet before work.
  2. Clear trash and leaf litter from the inlet or outlet with a rake or grabber and gloves; never use bare hands and never reach into a pipe or outlet.
  3. Restore the mulch to 2 to 3 inches.
  4. Photograph the clear inlet or outlet after work.
  5. Bag and remove the debris and trash from the site.
  6. Record the GPS waypoint, exact site name, street address, and contact who agreed to the work.
  7. Add mulch to the design depth of 2 to 3 inches: measure the depth with a ruler at three places, stop at the design depth, and keep the mulch below the inlet lip.
  8. Record the debris-removal confirmation and the complete before, after, GPS, and mulch proof.

What counts as done

  • Before photo of the blocked inlet/outlet
  • After photo showing the inlet/outlet clear and flowing
  • GPS waypoint at the asset
  • Mulch depth restored to design level (2-3 inches) confirmed
  • Debris/trash bagged and removed from site
  • Site record: the exact site's name and street address, and the contact who agreed to the work
  • The owner's or agency's name.
  • A ruler photo of mulch depth at three spots, with the inlet lip visible.
  • Where the debris went.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Green Stormwater Infrastructure. Green stormwater infrastructure is the city's way of handling rain the way a meadow does: rain gardens, planted swales, and permeable pavement that let a storm soak in instead of surging down a pipe. The EPA's inspection standard keeps these systems honest, because a neglected rain garden quietly stops working while still looking like a garden. Mastery is the inspector's eye: reading inlets, overflow, plants, and soil in a single practiced pass. This packet is one such inspection, one basin checked and one record filed, which is precisely how a thousand basins stay alive.

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
