Section 7.9.3. route will be declared open and subject to bidding in the event of vacancies regardless of 14 reason for the vacancy which exceed, or are projected to exceed, thirty (30) workdays. 15 Subsequent bidding shall be accomplished to "back fill" any route declared open as a result of 16 any previous bid. 18 In the event that the vacancy is temporary, and the original driver is entitled to return to his/her 19 position, the route(s) shall revert to the original assigned driver(s) upon the return of the driver 20 whose absence initiated the bidding procedure. The District will assign a substitute driver to 21 fill an open position created as a result of any bidding procedure initiated as a result of a 22 qualifying temporary vacancy. 24 Newly created routes, projected to exist more than thirty (30) workdays, shall be subject to 25 bidding procedures in the same manner as routes declared open. In the event of the layoff or 26 termination of an established route or portion of route that would reduce a driver's route by 27 fifteen (15) minutes or more, the route of a less senior person may be claimed.
