NORRISTOWNÂ â A chunk of funds approved recently by the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners dealt with the ongoing Ridge Pike Improvement Project.
Of the roughly $2.9 million authorized in a series of contracts and amendments during the May 6 meeting, the commissioners were presented with some big-ticket items.
One was an agreement not exceeding $1,334,994 with TRC Engineers Inc., of New York, N.Y., for construction inspection services.

The seven-figure contract between the New York-based firm and the countyâs Department of Assets and Infrastructure and Planning Commission, covered âSection Dâ of the long-term project, which covers Ridge Pike, from Crescent to Northwest avenues, located between Springfield and Whitemarsh townships to the Philadelphia city line.
Carrelli and his wife, Lynn, care for Francis. They say they never go out and have everything delivered. They even have a sanitizing station in the garage. But they can’t find a way to get him vaccinated.
“It’s frustrating that we can physically protect our homebound family and friends to a certain degree, Carrelli said. We can’t protect them to the degree a vaccine can protect them.”
The director of the Bucks County Health Department, Dr. David Damsker, says it’ll be a month or two before they’ll be able to vaccinate the homebound.
“We will get a list together of people that require this kind of service. It’s very labor intensive obviously,” Dr. Damsker said.
