Common use of System Assessment Clause in Contracts

System Assessment. The system assessment will identify gaps in the system, latent demand, estimate nonmotorized levels of travel, and an assessment of the adequacy and connectivity of the system as a whole. Work Tasks:  Gap Analysis: Gap analysis involves multiple parts: analysis of the existing active transportation network, identifying connections to major activity centers (i.e., employment centers, schools, housing communities, transit routes, etc.) and identifying locations or “gaps” where bicycle and pedestrian facilities are lacking. Gaps may include: o Spot gaps - lack of sidewalks or bicycle facilities at intersections, railroad crossing needs, transit stops that lack sidewalk connections, and crossing needs o Connection gaps - segment gaps in the active transportation network o Area gaps – walk and bike zones around critical facilities (e.g. schools, activity centers, hospitals, etc.)
