Conservation Pays Game - Sponsorship Opportunity
We are requesting co-sponsors for the Broward Water Partnership’s Conservation Pays Game to be held February – April of
2019. The Broward Water Partnership was established in 2011 as a means of promoting a regional water conservation
ethic throughout Broward County. The County has 82% participation in this indoor water conservation program, which
includes the Conservation Pays toilet rebate program. Over 12,000 rebates have been issued to date. That, combined with
the distribution of over 25,000 free water saving devices, has led to nearly 2 billion gallons of water saved.
The Conservation Pays game promotes environmental stewardship and shows Broward residents how to save time and
money and protect water through an online gaming tool. The tool asks residents to engage in the conversation,
through a variety of activities that highlight issues of sustainability, conservation and climate change, which
include: playing interactive games, completion of quizzes, attendance at local conservation events, visiting nature
centers, identifying sustainability features, and taking selfies at various assigned locations. The co-sponsorship
funds will provide incentives (prizes) for Broward residents to participate in the game. Ultimately, the
sponsorship funds will also provide the grand prize: a complete home retrofit for one family which includes water
and energy saving appliances and fixtures.
Complete Sponsorship Package can be accessed here.

Notice to Broward County Suppliers
Broward County launched a new purchasing and financial management system on April 4th that will enhance your
experience doing business with us! Effective March 25, 2016, all vendors that supply the County with goods and
services must now mail their invoices to Broward County Commission, P.O. Box 14470, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33302-4741,
Attn: Accounts Payable, or email them to AccountsPayable@Broward.org.
Suppliers for any County construction project must also send a copy of their invoices, with any supporting
documents, to the agency responsible for the project. The new system streamlines the accounts payable process and
will result in faster, more efficient payments to suppliers. In the meantime, suppliers are encouraged to get all
February invoices that are payable in March, in as quickly as possible, to avoid payment delays during the week of
the launch.
