(4) Capacity to accomplish the work in the required time. (5) Architect-Engineer firm's quality control practices/techniques. (6) Demonstrated success in prescribing the use of recovered materials and achieving waste reduction and energy efficiency in facility design. (7) Location in the general geographical area of the project and knowledge of the locality of the project; provided, that application of this criterion leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms, given the nature and size of the project. (8) The volume of work previously awarded to the firm by the Department of Defense shall also be considered, with the object of effecting an equitable distribution of Department of Defense A-E contracts among qualified A-E firms and firms that have not had Department of Defense contracts.
