Using the project plan portal  

You can use the SRP Plan Portal to manage all of your projects. Project types will fall into one of these three categories based on their requirements. 

See our construction process

Our team is ready to work with you at each step of your construction project to ensure you’re connected to power and water services.  

Together, we will:

• Gather information in Predesign
• Design a customized plan to connect your project to power
• Assign specific Customer Construction instructions
• Make sure everything is installed correctly with a thorough Inspection 

Predesign

After you submit your plans in the SRP Plan Portal, an SRP representative will work with you to gather information about your project, including:

• An initial set of project plans
• A completed SRP Plan Review Request form
• A completed Request for Design form

Developers seeking new or upgraded electrical service are required to submit preliminary site plan documents to initiate the infrastructure design and construction process.

Next, we’ll meet to review your plans, discuss responsibilities on the Customer Checklist and develop a timeline.

Design

Once we meet with you and review your documents, we'll design a plan for your project.

When you receive these design plans, known as redline prints, you'll:

• Have an opportunity to review and request any changes
• Be asked to have the property blue staked by Arizona 811
• Be provided with a list of SRP survey requirements (control points)

When both parties agree on the plan:

• We'll give you an Owner Agreement that you'll complete and return. (See a sample)
• If your power lines will cross other properties, we'll have you obtain Owner Agreements from those property owners as well.
• We'll provide a contract for you to review that will detail what SRP will construct, what you'll construct and any required fees. (See a sample)

You can either pay in full or make two payments:

• The first 25% payment covers design fees and is non-refundable.
• The final 75% payment is due 60 days before your project is connected to the power grid.

After you sign the contract and submit your first payment, we'll provide your construction prints.

Customer Construction

Construction can begin once you:

• Receive construction prints that detail your construction responsibilities and ours, including the inspections we'll perform along the way.
• Attend a preconstruction meeting with your SRP design consultant to review your construction prints. You can arrange to have any additional contractors attend this meeting too.

Inspection

To ensure a smooth inspection, complete the following steps first:

• Establish a billing account. 
• Have letter of authorization ready if street lighting is included.
• Inspect all trench and conduit work as well as any three-phase transformer pads.

What SRP will inspect

Here’s an overview of what SRP will inspect:

• Your trench and conduit as well as any pads you install for our equipment
• Your service entrance sections (or SES/meter panels)

Construction

Your part of the construction is considered complete when:

• You've passed 100% of our inspections
• You've received an electrical clearance – typically from the city or county
• You've executed all necessary easements
• You've submitted all payments and contracts

SRP construction process

Construction typically begins within seven days of your final inspection. During this phase, our construction crews will connect your project to the power grid.

Your team of construction consultants, supervisors and foremen will work with you to stay on your timeline and will be in regular communication.

Setting up a billing account

Prior to inspection, make sure to have your billing account set up. Here are the steps:

• Complete the billing details form along with the meter load summary form for each meter socket in order to establish your utility account.
• Once you've completed the forms, contact SRP at (602) 236-0777(602) 236-0777 or email construction@srpnet.com.
