Hello ,

 

The problem is in yor last line where you are calling the batch class.

While passing you are passing the String Query which has Local variable but does not exist in batch class.
So instead of passing it as a query with variable, use query as 

 

String val = 'Sales';
String soqlQuery = 'Select id from Contact Where RecordType.Name =\''+val+'\' limit 1';
system.debug(soqlQuery);
Id batchInstanceId = Database.executeBatch(new BATCH_UpdateObject(soqlQuery,'Contact','',''), 10);

 Try something like this and let us know if it you still face any issues.
