Contract
Este es un documento de licitación que detalla la ingeniería básica y detallada.
Contexto
----------------
Dueño de la Obra y Contratista. A lo largo de este estándar “Contratista” es el encargado del servicio y “Dueño de la Obra” es la Empresa de Acueductos y Alcantarillado, o su representante autorizado.
--------------
En mi humilde opinión, lo más probable es que se esté utilizando mal el término "estándar"
Puesto que podría ser Sección o documento.

Según yo lo entiendo, se refieren a que en todo el documento (o en lo sucesivo), el término "Contratista" se interpretará como el encargado de servicio, etc.

: It doesn't really matter why they've chosen the word "estandar" - it obviously means "this document". Not "instrument" though.

(over the course of these) specifications
I think this is what they must mean. I agree with Lydianette that they are probably using the word improperly but it does make a sort of sense. They are laying down the 'standards', ie specifications for the work.
Discussion
I understand that the meaning is "criterion." I usually see it in draft/form contracts included in bidding conditions.
