This Amendment No. 1 amends and restates the entire 8-K in order to: (i) disclose that there were no disagreements between the Plan and Grant Thornton LLP in the interim period between December 31, 2003 and May 12, 2005, (ii) disclose that none of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred in the interim period between December 31, 2003 and May 12, 2005 and (iii) file an updated letter from Grant Thornton LLP as Exhibit 16.2 stating their agreement with statements concerning their firm contained in this Form 8-K/A.

ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

The MasTec, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Plan’s (the “Plan”) independent registered public accounting firm, Grant Thornton LLP, resigned on May 12, 2005 as the result of business decisions made internally by the firm. BDO Seidman, LLP was engaged for services as the Plan’s new independent registered public accounting firm on May 24, 2005. The decision to change the accountants was approved by the MasTec Inc. Audit Committee on May 24, 2005.

The audit report of Grant Thornton LLP on the financial statements of the Plan as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The statement of net assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2002, was audited by other auditors. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on the statement of net assets available for benefits in their report dated June 20, 2003.

During the most recent audit completed, for the year ended December 31, 2003 and within the period from December 31, 2003 through May 12, 2005, there were no disagreements between the Plan and Grant Thornton LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures that, if not resolved to Grant Thornton’s satisfaction, would have caused Grant Thornton LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its opinion.

None of the reportable events described under Item 304 (a) (1) (v) of Regulation S-K occurred within the year ended December 31, 2003 or within the period from December 31, 2003 through May 12, 2005.

The Plan has provided Grant Thornton LLP with a copy of the foregoing statement and requested that Grant Thornton LLP furnish a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating whether it agrees with such statements. A copy of Grant Thornton LLP’s letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission, dated June 7, 2005, is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.2.

During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 the Plan did not consult with BDO Seidman, LLP regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304 (a) (2) (i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.
