County Awards Cyclical Reassessment Contract to Nexus Group; Tyler Technologies Rejected for Not Meeting Specs
Summary
DeKalb County commissioners approved Nexus Group for the next cyclical reassessment after staff review found other bidders failed to meet contract specifications and the Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF) prescribes the contract form.
DeKalb County approved a multi-year cyclical property reassessment contract with Nexus Group after the county assessor recommended Nexus as the only bidder that met the bid specifications.
Nut graf: The assessor told commissioners that Tyler Technologies did not meet the bid requirements, lacked unlimited appeal support and omitted required data entry services; Nexus offered an all-in price with no anticipated overages. The DLGF-prescribed contract form was used.
Details: The assessor reviewed the bids and recommended Nexus Group because the firm offered unlimited appeal support, data-entry services the county currently uses and a single, predictable price. Commissioners moved and approved the contract—reported as a four-year engagement during the meeting—and signed the required form. Staff noted the contract language is standard under the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance and therefore is not negotiable.
What happens next: Commissioners signed one original contract copy for county records and asked staff to scan and distribute copies. The assessor said the county’s reassessment committee will monitor implementation and report progress to the commissioners and council as required by statute.
