AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) FEASIBILITY STUDY
Sioux City, IA P&DF to Sioux Falls, SD P&DC

June 17, 2011

A functional review of the Sioux City, IA Area Mail Processing (AMP) proposal is complete.  The proposal recommends transferring all mail processing operations from the Sioux City Processing and Distribution Facility (P&DF) for ZIP Codes 510 - 513 to the Sioux Falls, SD Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC).  The proposal, which has a projected annual savings of $2,565,251, has been approved.  Implementation of this AMP is expected to be completed by October 2011.

The Sioux City P&DF does not contain a retail unit.  The Sioux City Main Post Office is located approximately two miles from the Sioux City P&DF.  Services that are currently available from the Main Post Office will continue to be available to customers.

The Postal Service must continually evaluate the opportunity to improve productivity and increase efficiency while maintaining excellent service.  The transfer of mail processing operations provides significant savings and allows us to accomplish our goal of making better use of our resources.
