The SFPUC is seeking a qualified Proposer to assist with the administration of the Our Water, Our World Program. The Program’s promotion of less-toxic pest control is an active partnership between Bay Area Water pollution prevention agencies and pesticide retailers, aiming to reduce water pollution caused by pesticides in local creeks, the San Francisco Bay, and the Delta. The program relies on knowledgeable hardware store and nursery employees, in-store promotion of less-toxic products and program-provided public education materials to spread the word about effective alternatives to products known to cause pollution. Program administration includes in-store training of participating store staff and ensuring informational materials are stocked in all participating stores, conducting employee trainings at all interested OWOW participating stores for employees; replenishing and restocking the OWOW participating stores with needed OWOW outreach materials; and providing assistance to SFPUC in developing and implementing an outreach event to promote the OWOW program to San Francisco residents.
