Project Red Rock Lookout Upgrades

General Information

1.0 Scope of Work

The goal of this project is to complete deferred maintenance upgrades to the existing Red Rock Lookout. This includes but not limited to: roofing, lighting protection system, off-grid solar infrastructure, exterior finishes, interior finishes and other utility piping.

2.0 Background

The Plumas National Forest has over 5 active lookouts across the 1 million acre landscape and is missing coverage in this part of the forest due to the deferred maintenance required at the location. The Red Rock LO is structurally sound after a design investigation conducted on the structure. The structure provides a public safety fire and hazard vantage point over Lone Rock Valley and Antelope Lake which are popular camping and recreation areas. The Red Rock coverage area also includes land on the adjoining Lassen National Forest connecting the lookout network across the region. All of these repairs have long term future value as fire lookouts can be transferred into recreational rental opportunities if decisions are made to not continue staffing fire personnel in the future.
