================================================================================



     Section 4.1 of the of the Quanta Services, Inc. 1999 Employee Stock
Purchase Plan (the "Plan") authorized 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the

be cumulatively increased on June 1, 2000 and each June 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to the lesser of (a) 1,000,000 shares or (b) a lesser amount of
shares determined by the Board. A Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No.
333-86375) was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 1,
1999 (the "Prior S-8"), relating to the Plan. Subsequent to the filing of the
Prior S-8, the Board approved a 3-for-2 stock split of Common Stock which was
paid as a stock dividend to holders of the Common Stock of record at the close
of business on March 27, 2000. No additional shares have been required until
June 1, 2002, when an additional 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock were
authorized pursuant to the terms of the Plan for issuance of Common Stock
purchases under the Plan. The contents of the Prior S-8, including documents
incorporated by reference therein, are incorporated by reference into this
Registration Statement.
