Latest Carrier Vacancy Posting

Latest Carrier Award Posting

Please review the attached documents below.  The procedures listed will assist any carrier identified as the senior bidder (temporarily disabled) versus successful bidder in securing the bid assignment.

The first page is a letter that comes from Health and Resource Management (HRM) to advise you on what you need to do to certify you will be able to carry the route in six months. The letter also contains an attachment with the functional requirements of the job.  Carriers, DO NOT WAIT FOR THIS LETTER TO COME TO YOU!!!  Article 41 and the National MOU 00752 only give you 10 days from the date of the award posting to get that letter to the postmaster’s office and Health and Resource Management (HRM).  That information is also on the first page of every bid vacancy award posting. 

What we strongly encourage carriers in this situation to do is download the attached functional requirements letter (and the example letter of physician approval) after you receive notification you are the senior bidder.  Once downloaded, go to the doctor and get him/her to complete the letter.  The use of official physician letterhead or doctor’s stamp is strongly encouraged.  Last, make sure HRM and the Postmaster’s office receives the documentation within 10 days.  Send it certified or drop it off and keep a copy for yourself.
