Which service is typically included under a Professional Services contract?

• A. Architectural services
• B. Ground transportation
• C. Construction management
• D. Equipment leasing

Answer: (A)

Professional services contracts are for work performed by licensed experts who deliver knowledge-based services that rely on professional judgment. Architectural services fit this pattern because architects provide design, planning, documentation, and construction oversight that depend on licensure, specialized training, and professional standards.

Ground transportation is an operational or logistical service, not design or advisory work. Construction management is a skilled coordination service within a project, often treated as its own category rather than a standard professional services contract. Equipment leasing is about providing assets for use and is a procurement/financing arrangement, not a professional service.
