520			_aThis paper examines unbalanced contract bidding, a strategy for the allocation of rates to unit quantities for the benefit of the bidder. A mathematical model is proposed which attempts to objectively exploit variation trends in client-provided quantities. It is shown that the model can be solved by two methods - linear programming and the maximum- minimum method. The maximum-minimum method is preferred for most real-world situations.
