Autodesk is no longer developing the product and will not extend multi-year license extensions beyond our current license expiration in December, 2020.

The Kahua platform is recommended as the best option for the District (see attached memo to the Eric Dill).

The agreement is for one year with 30 users. After integration, testing and deployment an agreement for more users in following years will be considered.

Cost: Annual Subscription (one year) $35,625.00 Professional Services (one time) $60,000.00 The Kahua platform will eliminate the need for another program budgeting and cost management application saving approximately $50,000.00 per year.
