The Postal Authority plans eventually to transfer its mail-sorting activity for Tel Aviv and Jerusalem in a single central location.
The Israel Postal Authority plans to spend NIS 250 million in replacing its mail-sorting center in Tel Aviv. The Postal Authority will publish an international tender in the next few days for leading companies dealing in consultation, designing, and construction of mail-sorting and logistics centers. The companies will be asked to submit bids for designing the new mail-sorting center. The Postal Authority estimates the cost of designing the technologies alone at $250,000.
Postal Authority chairman and director-general Yossi Shelli said that the Postal Authority planned to move its mail-sorting center away from Hagana St. in south Tel Aviv. The Postal Authority’s preferred location is at the Ramle-Lod intersection. The new site, which will not be a high-rise, will cover 20,000 sq.m. The current building has 14,000 sq.m. on nine storeys.
The new center will handle up to four million pieces of mail a day, compared with 2.5 million at the current center in Tel Aviv. The Postal Authority plans eventually to transfer its mail-sorting activity for Tel Aviv and Jerusalem in a single central location.
