What is scope of service?

• A. The geographic area of the project
• B. Proposal to conduct a lead based paint inspection
• C. A list of materials to be tested
• D. A fee schedule

Answer: (B)

Scope of service is the plan that describes what work will be performed, who will do it, and what results will be delivered for a project. In lead-based paint work, the scope of service is best shown by the proposal to conduct a lead-based paint inspection, because that document lays out the exact activities to be performed, where the inspection will occur, the methods to be used, and the expected deliverables. The geographic area defines boundaries, but it doesn’t specify the services themselves. A list of materials to be tested and a fee schedule focus on testing specifics or costs, not the overall work to be performed.
