Gilbert Central has had many paving successes in Arkansas in the past few years. The company's awards—and bonuses—prove it. "We obtain smoothness bonuses on every project that has an incentive program," said Chris Loeffler, a project manager with Gilbert Central, Little Rock, Ark. "It is our goal to achieve a minimum of 90% of the total achievable incentive." The company invariably reaches its goal. On the last three projects it achieved 98%, 93% and 95% of incentives. The I-30 project at Gurdon, Ark., won the Statewide Multi-Lane Pavement Award for Quality from the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department and the Arkansas Asphalt Pavement Association. In addition, this year's I-40 project at Conway, Ark., achieved 98% of the available incentive and had a profile index average of less than 1 over 40 lane-miles of interstate. That work has been nominated for a National Asphalt Pavement Association award.
