This document is a definitions file for a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS), providing key terminology for a moving services contract. The RFP seeks a contractor to provide moving services across various MPS sites, primarily involving book transportation between buildings, with potential off-site pickups within Milwaukee. The scope anticipates both large and small moves, typically requiring two movers and one truck, completed within a single day. MPS reserves the right to select multiple vendors and does not guarantee specific quantities of moves.

The RFP includes provisions for Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs), defined as for-profit businesses that are 51% or more owned, controlled, and managed by minority, women, disadvantaged, emerging, SBA-8A, or other MPS-targeted business owners. The document emphasizes a unique "Student Engagement" component, which requires contractor involvement in career education and employment opportunities for students. Communication about the RFP is strictly limited to the Bonfire messaging system, with any external contact grounds for disqualification. The contract appears designed to provide flexible moving services while promoting local business participation and student workforce development.
