WASHINGTON, D.C — A federal judge has denied the bid protest of a development company that had been asking the court to order the government to revisit its bidding process for the new VA Butler Healthcare Center in Center Township.

Judge Victor Wolski’s decision, filed on Thursday, entered a judgment in favor of the United States and Cambridge Healthcare Solutions.

At dispute is whether the VA facility will be built by Oxford Development at a site in Butler Township or by Cambridge in Center Township.

Richard Moorhouse, the attorney representing Cambridge, said the one page filing means that the bid protest of Oxford has been denied by the court. In an e-mail, Moorhouse declined to comment further on the judgment.

Matthew Jameson, the attorney representing Oxford, did not return multiple messages left seeking comment on the judgment. According to Wolski’s Thursday filing, the company has 60 days to appeal his decision.

There was no immediate information available explaining Wolski’s judgment for Cambridge and the federal government.

Last month Wolski issued protective orders in the case which rendered more than a dozen court filings by both sides inaccessible to the public.

Ed Latuska, chairman of the Center Township board of supervisors, said he was not aware of the court ruling but is hopeful that the legal debate will end soon.

“This is the third time they’ve been given negative results,” he said of Oxford.

“I don’t know how much longer they want to continue pursuing this,” Latuska said.
