Dubois County OKs $129,922 contract to replace courthouse computer network

Dubois County Commissioners approved a $129,922.25 proposal from Matrix Integration on May 20 to replace the county's courthouse computer network with a SCALE Computing System solution that includes production and disaster recovery cluster nodes, a backup node with Acronis software, and five years of support.

Riley Rumfelt of Matrix Integration presented the proposal, joined by Ron Betz and Matt Duncan via Zoom. County officials discussed the impending end of life for the current Nimble storage solution and concluded that replacing the full system was a more economical option than replacing only the Nimble storage. The board moved to approve the proposal as presented; the minutes state the motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.

The minutes record the contract amount and high‑level components but do not include vendor payment schedules, warranty bond specifics, or the county department assigned to accept delivery and installation; those procurement details are not specified in the record.

Next steps recorded in the minutes indicate a fully executed contract will be obtained and the county will proceed with the replacement according to the vendor proposal.
