Is there some type of program or something I can put on my server that will monitor my bandwidth and if it raises above a predetermined level it will email me or let me know somehow?
Dedicated Servers Bandwidth

I think the Hosting provider takes care of that aspect. He monitors your server 24X7 and sends you a notification email if your bandwidth usage is up to 80-90% mark, so you get enough time to look for alternatives like purchase more bandwidth or upgrade onto higher plan.
You can contact your Hosting provider and ask him if provides this service or not.
You can also ask your server provider to provide you bandwidth detailed logs/graph every 7 days as every data center having its own bandwidth monitoring tool to monitor the server bandwidth, you can't assume that external monitoring tool will hep you to monitor the server bandwidth as they are not 100% accurate..
