For the past several years, PACE has pondered ways to work with various service providers such as power washers, painters, carpet and blind cleaners, and landscape maintenance services. These are businesses that do not fit the traditional PACE model in that they are not located in a fixed facility with water and energy meters of their own, or a specific pollutant of concern. However, traditional PACE businesses often rely on these services providers, and the manner in which these providers operate can greatly affect the businesses’ ability to meet their goals for environmental achievement. With this in mind, PACE is pleased to unveil its PACE Allies program for Surface Cleaners and Power Washers Program.
When PACE talks with a business about the proper ways to wash their building’s exterior, we know that these functions are typically subcontracted. The PACE Allies program will allow PACE staff to provide businesses with a list of service providers that have demonstrated an understanding, willingness and ability to follow practices that minimize the environmental impacts of these activities.
If your business is interested in becoming a PACE Ally, just complete the following steps:
- Review the PACE Best Management Practices (BMPs) training by clicking on the logo below
- Pass the test following the training to demonstrate an understanding of the BMPs
- Provide PACE with three upcoming dates and locations where they will be working. PACE will select one of the dates to on which to observe their work unannounced.
- If the service provider is properly implementing the BMPs, they will be asked to sign a pledge stating that they will consistently adhere to the BMPs.

PACE will follow-up with each Ally annually to ensure that they still properly implementing the BMPs and to provide them with any new BMPs or information on emerging technologies.
PACE will make the list of Allies available to all of the businesses with which PACE works, regardless of their certification status. The list of Allies will also be posted on the PACE website.
