City Centre HVAC Modernization Project 2026

It's a chilly day
City Center HVAC — Contractor Outreach Update
We’re continuing outreach for the City Center HVAC project and wanted to share a quick update.
Status
- Response from prospects has been limited beyond General Mechanical, so we’re expanding our search area.
- Slayden Plumbing & Heating (Wasilla) has been identified as a viable option. They operate a sheet metal shop, have experience working into Anchorage, and appear capable of taking on the City Center scope.
Team input
- Jennifer Kammer (Principal Mechanical Engineer) noted Slayden is a reputable firm and offered to reach out; she was unsure whether they regularly do work in Anchorage but is willing to confirm.
- Mike flagged seeing Slayden trucks servicing Anchorage-area jobs during his commutes, supporting the idea they can work here.
Next steps
- Jennifer will contact Slayden to confirm capacity, Anchorage experience, and request a proposal.
- If Slayden is unavailable or the proposal isn’t a fit, we’ll continue expanding outreach outside the Anchorage bowl and solicit additional bids.
If you have other contractor recommendations or want to be involved in the outreach, please let us know.
Temperature issues: Its a little cooler than normal in the building today.
My office is currently 71 degrees. It appears that the heat is turned off.
Mike is aware we are receiving complaints that is cold today.
Please continue reporting any comfort issues to the management office. I'm monitoring daily, but your feedback helps me track problem areas.
Thank you! -

Thursday June 4th, 2026, Update
System Status:
- Out of service
- Superior Mechanical has been contacted and is working to restore cooling functionality
Immediate Actions Taken:
Suite 204 (East Side):
- Temperatures reached 90°F in some offices
- Non-operable windows prevent natural ventilation
- Humidifiers were picked up by Victor & Lonnie (Eagle Buildigng Service) to provide immediate relief for affected tenants
- Our maintenance team standing by to assist as needed
Alternative Solutions Considered:
- Portable AC units were evaluated but deemed ineffective due to:
- Lack of window ventilation options
- Heat exhaust cannot properly exit building plenum
- Would generate as much heat as cooling provided
Long-term Planning:
- Genneral Mechanical is activly composing a formal bid.
- Exploring alternative mechanical contractors (McDonald Miller Mechanical has been contacted, )
- Building specifications and drawings being sent to new potential contractors
- Comprehensive system improvement plan under development
Accountability:This situation has raised serious concerns about reliability of our maintenance contractor. We are actively evaluating our options moving forward.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate everyone's patience as we work to resolve this issue promptly.
