On a personal note, Archie Banes is a proud father of three little girls. Archie was asked, why he like working for The Center. His response was, “I really like working with GB and Jeff, I also like the other guys, we are all friends.”

“The Center has several contracts that provided services to the Texas Department of Transportation,” said Wilford Scott I was also talking with a senior management official of the Houston District of TxDOT and The Center was made reference to. The comment was “I wish all contractors were like “The Center,” they show up when they are supposed to show up; they do what the contract calls for them to do; they just take care of business.”
