Heading: The Clear Creek job (basis for Counts 16 and 17)

Text: In 2005, DRI performed restoration work on a property in Empire, Colorado, owned by Clear Creek Investments and insured by State Farm Insurance Company (State Farm). Troudt sent State Farm a DRI estimate that listed a single subcontractor line item in the amount of $6,231.90 for “HEAT, VENT & PLUMBING” work performed by D&H. Id. at 226. Written below the line item was the phrase “per the the [sic] invoice and breakdown from D&H Heating in the amount of 5193.25 x contractor overhead and profit of 20% = the cost of $6231.90.” Id. Troudt also sent a cover letter that stated, in pertinent part, “The break down [sic] is per invoice received from D&H Heating for labor and material completed to date.” Id. at 225. In fact, however, D&H had agreed to perform the work for $3,879.60 and invoiced DRI for that amount.
