Insurance requirements include workers' compensation, commercial general liability with minimum $3,000,000 per occurrence, and employer's liability of $100,000; the YPA and City of Yonkers must be named as additional insureds.

Evaluation criteria include direct experience, professional qualifications, references, quality of statement of work, demonstrated capacity to perform, total cost, and proposal completeness and responsiveness.
