If you prefer to use the simplest possible solution to a problem, an alternative to RedirectMatch is, the more basic, Redirect directive.

It does not use pattern matching and so is more explicit and easier for others to understand.

i.e

Redirect 301 /contact.php http://example.com/contact-us.php

Query strings should be carried over because the docs say:

Additional path information beyond the matched URL-path will be appended to the target URL.
