This is a Scope of Work document for the Independence – Baxter Pedestrian Improvements project issued by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) in coordination with local authorities. The project encompasses pedestrian safety improvements at the intersection of Independence Boulevard and Baxter Road, including concrete demolition and replacement, installation of curb ramps and concrete sidewalks, installation of traffic control infrastructure (poles, push buttons, and signal heads with conduits), expansion of the concrete median, creation of a pedestrian refuge area, and removal and installation of pavement markings. The work is designed to enhance pedestrian accessibility and safety at this intersection through comprehensive infrastructure upgrades that integrate traffic signal integration with pedestrian crossing facilities.

The project scope requires contractors to coordinate closely with traffic management and signal operations while maintaining public safety during construction. The work involves coordination with existing utilities and drainage systems, necessitating careful planning around established infrastructure. Contractors must comply with Virginia Department of Transportation standards and local specifications for all materials and installation methods. The project appears to be funded through state transportation improvement funds, with work sequencing and phasing to be determined during the bidding and contracting process to minimize traffic disruption at this active intersection.
