the necessity of using overnight delivery. Presently UHV has a state
contract with UPS for Ground and Next Day delivery. Ground services
costs approximately 50% less than overnight delivery. (For example, a
1# package to Houston area shipping ground costs $3.39 which will be
delivered the next day; whereas the UPS Next Day service costs $6.67)
