• C: ANALYSIS The price of hydraulic modeling programs (along with training) reviewed by the County is as follows (see attached cost estimates from vendors): WaterCadd 2 user license -2,000 pipe limit MONO 2 user license -2,000 pipe limit $7,745.00 $7,227.80 It should be noted that Kentucky Pipe is in the process of developing a new version of their hydraulic modeling software for considerably less money than the other two -referenced programs. However, their GIS exporting features are in the early stages of development and have not been tested. Even though the H2ONet purchase price is less than WaterCadd, H2ONet runs inside another program called AutoCadd. The AutoCadd platform costs an additional $3,500.00 which would bring the total cost of the software package to $10,727.00 for any user which is not currently licensed to run AutoCadd. The WaterCadd price also includes water quality training for one student in addition to training for developing hydraulic models for two students. It should further be noted that H2ONet also requires a $1,000 annual contract per user after the first year of ownership for support maintenance, while the WaterCadd price includes free lifetime technical and engineering support.
