I recently bid on a route that was up in my district (not in my office) I have over 2 years as an RCA. I was wondering how long does it take to know if you won the bid or not? Also I was wondering if there is any way to check this on liteblue like in the OPF folder? The bid closed on the 8th and I asked my supervisor today if he had heard anything.

District bidding is a little different than local bidding.

District bidding is posted for 15 DAYS, awarded within 10 days, and winning bidder is placed on route within 21 days on a Pay Period begin. Mgmt should be able to find out who the winning bidder is by contacting district. Your District Rep can also inquire if mgmt is reluctant.

-- bid posted for 10 days
-- 10 days to award the route
-- 21 days to be placed on the route ( the December part not applicable here )

-- Supposedly the post office of the winning carrier is notified by email.

-- Could be you are not the winner - or - the PM has not checked the email lately - or - the Columbus Day holiday slowed the process down.
