Lincoln County board approves ZDS for high school chiller replacement
Summary
At its Aug. 19 meeting the Lincoln County Board of Education approved, 5-0, selecting ZDS to replace a failing chiller that serves the district high school; superintendent said the unit is about 20 years old and the company was chosen for its HVAC expertise.
The Lincoln County Board of Education voted Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2025, at its regular meeting in Hamblin to approve the selection of ZDS for the high school chiller replacement as part of the consent agenda. The motion passed unanimously, 5-0.
The approval was filed in the consent items (agenda item 6). Superintendent Barnett told the board that one chiller is failing and that the unit is approximately 20 years old. Barnett said ZDS stood out among applicants because “HVAC is their wheelhouse,” and noted the company’s experience led the panel to select it for the project. Board members were told staff would contact the company after the board’s approval so work can begin.
Board members asked for clarification about the scope; Barnett said this chiller runs the high school’s central heating and air system, not just a cafeteria or a single space. The board did not set a firm construction timeline in the meeting record; Barnett said the company would be contacted “and they’ll get started” after approval.
Formal vote: the board recorded a 5-0 vote to approve the consent agenda that included the ZDS selection for the chiller replacement. The meeting did not include detailed contract terms, dollar amounts, or an implementation schedule in the public record; those specifics were not stated in the transcript.
Next steps identified in the meeting record are staff contact with ZDS and project kickoff; no further board-level approvals or contract details were described on the record during the Aug. 19 session.
